Propolis, which bees process from the plant and tree resin they gather and use to protect the health of their hives, has been shown to have powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in humans. It has been proven effective in treating skin conditions, wounds, burns, and in the treatment of respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. This guide explains how to use propolis as a part of an everyday health routine to boost the immune system and as a possible substitute for antibiotics. Also included is a list of propolis products that are on the market and instructions for consumers to make their own propolis remedies.

Propolis - Before the City,
By JASH Just A Section Hiker (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bee Propolis: Natural Healing from the Hive (Nature's Remedies S.) (Paperback)
Just came back from a day of working in the bee yard on Plan Bee. [...]
It is about 100 degrees but the bees seem to love it. I digress.... As a second year beekeeper, the more I know about bees, the more I want to learn about bees. By now we have had our second honey harvest but there is MUCH more we can get from the hive. Propolis, a word supposedly coined by Aristotle meaning Pro - Before Polis - The city is another bee product. Bees use it protect their hive and make it more environmentally friendly. I wanted to learn more about this miracle bee product that has pharmacy companies abuzz.. Just into the book a few pages but loving the style of the writer and all of the great new information. I am dropping my other reads and focusing on this one. Hope to see you by the hive. Dave aka, The Bee Boy out!!

Bee Propolis-another reason to care for honey bees,
This review is from: Bee Propolis: Natural Healing from the Hive (Nature's Remedies S.) (Paperback)
This book is very informative about the healing properties of propolis. I had heard a podcast interview with James Fearnley. The host was top bar hive builder and enthusiast Phil Chandler, so I knew the direction the book would take, but I wanted something to refer back to again and again. I've bought several of these books so I can share this information with other beekeepers who might regard propolis as more of a nuisance. I am fascinated with the idea that bees will collect the immunity properties of trees and flowers and 'process' this substance with their own enzymes which we can use as a sort of broad spectrum 'medicine'.
