Propolis and Propolis Cleansing (BfD Journal 82)
Propolis is the sticky 'glue' used by honey bees. The bee bites off scraps of plant resin and packs them into the pollen baskets on her hind legs. Because of its stickiness, propolis gathering is a slow business. Back at the hive, unloading can take another hour.
