Propolis is a resinous yellow-brown to dark brown substance which seeps from the buds of certain trees and shrubs
(eg., leaf buds, trunk wounds)
Propolis is a collected by worker honey bees from the growing parts of.
The bees pack the propolis on their hind legs,
and carry it back to their colony,
where it is combined with beeswax and used by worker "hive" bees as a sealant and sterilant in the colony nest .The bees use it to coat the inside of the hive, including the passageway and the brood chambers
Propolis protects the hive in two ways: First,
it reinforces the hive itself; second,
it protects the hive from bacterial and viral infection,
thus protect the colony against disease.
Propolis has also been shown to kill Bacillus larvae,
the most important bacterial disease of bees

propolis is produced by honey bees,
they do it by collecting resin from trees and plants,
taking it back to the hive where they work upon it,
