Propolis or bee glue is produced by bees from resinous aromatic substances - tree buds. With the help of propolis, bees close up gaps in the hives, thereby protecting their families from the cold, viruses, fungi and pathogens.
In folk medicine, since ancient times, propolis has been used both externally and internally.
