How is Propolis collected?

Each bee colony contains several Propolis-manufacturing, who forage for tree resin on warm days when the substance is soft and pliable.

As the bee gathers the resin she blends it with beeswax, secreted from a gland in her abdomen, to create Propolis. The Propolis is kneaded, or moulded, into tiny balls and placed into pollen “baskets” on her hind legs. The amazing worker bee can carry close to her own weight and may buzz about, gathering resin and turning it into Propolis, for an hour before returning to the hive with a full load.

For use in health products, Propolis is scraped from wooden hive parts or gathered on specially designed collection mats. Beeswax and other impurities are removed and the raw product is processed for use in a variety of Propolis products.
