Functions:
Propolis is now believed to:
Reinforce the structural stability of the hiveReduce vibrationMake the hive more defensible by sealing alternate entrancesPrevent diseases and parasites from entering the hive, and to inhibit bacterial growth[3]Prevent putrefaction within the hive. Bees usually carry waste out of and away from the hive. However if a small lizard or mouse, for example, finds its way into the hive and dies there, bees may be unable to carry it out through the hive entrance. In that case, they would attempt instead to seal the carcass in propolis, essentially mummifying it and making it odorless and harmless.Pure Propolis Powder
