Honeybees 🐝 offer more than just honey and beeswax. Propolis is a natural honeybee product that includes a mixture of tree resins and honeybee enzymes. Propolis is used by honeybees in the hive to seal up cracks, cover surfaces, line the hive entrance and serve as a disinfectant. Propolis serves to sterilize the hive and is known to kill viruses, fungi and bacteria.

Propolis has been used in traditional medicine since 300 BC and possesses a wide range of pharmaceutical potential. Propolis has been shown to possess antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

BEEpothecary is a family owned business located in Lancaster, Ohio and aims “to share the amazement of God’s design in the honeybee.” BEEpothecary offers a wide range of products containing propolis including supplements and skincare products.

BEEpothecary products are available for purchase at the Ohio Institute of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC.
