Propolis or bee glue is a sticky substance that bees collect from flowers, tree buds, resinous plant secretions and modify with their enzymes. Bees use it to cover up cracks in their house, to embalm uninvited guests in the hive – small animals and other insects, to disinfect honeycomb cells before sowing eggs with the uterus. Propolis tincture will have a bitter taste, cause a slightly tangible burning sensation and slight numbness of the tongue.
