Collection: The Propolis Envelope

If honey is the hive's sweet treasure, propolis is its medicine cabinet.

Honey bees collect sticky resins from tree buds, bark, and other plants, then mix them with beeswax and enzymes to create propolis, often called "bee glue." Inside the hive, bees use it to seal cracks, strengthen comb, reduce drafts, and create the propolis envelope, a protective barrier that helps keep their home healthy.

We love propolis and use it as much as we can because it is one of the most remarkable substances found in nature. For thousands of years, people around the world have valued propolis for its traditional wellness uses. Modern research continues to explore its natural compounds and their potential antimicrobial, antioxidant, and soothing properties.

At The Newbee Store, you can expect to find propolis in a variety of forms, our most popular being PRO-TONIC. While honey often gets the spotlight, we consider propolis to be one of the hive's most fascinating and valuable creations.
