WHAT IS PROPOLIS?

Propolis is a substance made by the honeybee that provides protection against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi. Propolis is plant resin collected by bees for use in and around the hive. In plants it is usually the sticky coating around buds that serves to protect them from the elements of weather plus from attack by bacteria, fungi, molds, and viruses. These are properties that are useful to the bees and are enhanced by the sticky properties of the Propolis. Like pollen, Propolis is a bee product that cannot be clearly defined and varies from sample to sample. This is a natural outcome of the collection process. Propolis collecting bees will use resins from a large variety of tree and other plant species, and these naturally will differ in their qualitative and quantitative chemical composition. Nevertheless, different Propolis samples do share considerable similarity in their physical and overall general chemical nature.

Hundreds of chemical compounds have been identified from Propolis. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics, and various aromatic compounds. Propolis also contains some volatile oils, terpenes, and beeswax, but these compounds are not believed to contribute as significantly to the chemical properties and effects of Propolis.

Flavonoids are well-known plant compounds that have antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Other properties of Propolis include acting as a local anesthetic, reducing spasms, healing gastric ulcers, and strengthening capillaries.

RED PROPOLIS
This new type of Brazilian Propolis demonstrated a notable antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Staphylococcus Mutans UA159. The compound revealed potential antimicrobial activity. A previous in vitro study reported EEP obtained from the Brazilian Red Propolis as having potential antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus mutans
Ingbritt1600, with MIC ranging from50 to100__g/ml (Castro et al., 2003).

What is it that makes this propolis red? I have seen others but they are dark almost like black in color.

Hi! Thank you for asking.

It depends on Botanical origin of the plants around the hive. The beehives were located near woody perennial shrubs along the sea and river shores. The bees were observed to collect red resinous exudates on Dalbergia ecastophyllum (L) Taub. (Leguminosae) to make propolis.

[Dalmoaccor]

The flavonoids of propolis and red resinous exudates were investigated using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography.

We conclude that the botanical origin of the reddish propolis is D. ecastophyllum. In areas where this source (D. ecastophyllum) was scarce or missing, bees were collecting resinous material from other plants. Propolis, which contained the chemical constituents from the main botanical origin, showed higher antimicrobial activity.

Dry well and crush into a powder. Add a couple drops of pure distilled clove oil and work into a paste. Shove this propolis/clove ball into a rotten tooth hole, and it not only keeps food out of the infected area, it kills the pain and will completely destroy the bacteria, all at the same time. (Some people also add Zinc Oxide I think). It burns a little at first, but this will get you through a week until a dentist if you ever have to go through the terror of a rotten tooth with an abcess.

hello. if you leave such a large space in the hives, how comes that bee families don't attack each other?

poor beebee's they work so hard!
