In addition to honey, bees make another substance called propolis. It is a resinous substance that is made mainly from
tree sap, and has antibiotic properties due to its content of biologically active flavonoids.
Propolis has been used for more than 2,000 years to prevent wound infection and other illnesses. It has been found to
be active against bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Research other suggests that that topical propolis can affect
genital herpes, oral surgery, healing wounds, and vaginal infections.
