Propolis starts as the sticky resinous sap which seeps from the buds of certain trees and oozes from the bark of others. The bees gather this " bee glue " and carry it back to the hive where it is blended with wax flakes secreted from special glands on the underside of the bees abdomen.
Propolis is used to line the interior of brood cells in preparation for the Queens laying of eggs. With its antiseptic properties it provides a hospital clean environment for the rearing of brood. Propolis is a very complex mixture that varies according to the source it comes from. At least 180 different compounds have been identified so far in propolis. A broad analysis reveals approximately 55% resinous compounds and balsams, 30% beeswax, 10% ethereal and aromatic oils, and 5% bee pollen. Many flavonoids contribute to propolis and have a great deal to do with its antibacterial qualities. Other components include cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, vanillin, caffeic acid, tectochrysin, isalpinin,, pinocembrin, chrysin, galangin, and ferulic acid. |
