Propolis Extract

This extract is made from propolis collected by Two Hives Honey’s beekeepers from our hives. Many people use propolis extract daily; adding a few drops in their water or smoothie, or taking 3-5 drops under the tongue. Other uses are directly onto the skin; in particular on mouth sores, or adding a few drops to water and gargling with it.

What is propolis? Honey bees collect resins known for their anti-bacterial nature from trees, and  blend it with enzymes and beeswax, producing propolis.  Called “bee glue,” it is used by honey bees for a variety of reasons. It is used to fill cracks and crevices in the hive. You can read more about propolis and research of its uses.

Please note: if you have an allergy to honey or bees, you will also have a reaction to products containing propolis.
