Propolis is a resin bees collect from trees forming part of the immune system trees use to defend  themselves against disease. Honey bees collect the resin and mix it with their own secretions and beeswax to form propolis which they use to protect th hive.
Propolis is used in the hive for the variety of defensive and protective purposes. The Greeks recongnised the healing qualities of Propolis, using it for treating wounds, as well as "incurabel diseases". Hippocrates himself, the father of modern medicine, prescribed Propolis for the healing of sores and ulcers, both internal and external.
Comvita Propolis comes from unspilt areas of New Zealand where deciduous trees produce resin to protect their young buds and exposed areas. Honeybees gather the resin on their back legs and carry it to the hive where they mix it with beeswax and enzymes to make Propolis. So Propolis sterillses and seals the hive, protecting it from bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Thus natural immune system at the cellular level and assist with cell regeneration.

Comvita propolis comes from unspoilt areas of New Zealand where specific deciduous trees, such as Poplar, Willow and Birch, produce natural sap and resins with high levels of flavonoids to defend buds and broken limbs from infection. Honey bees gather the resins and add their own special substances to make propolis, which they use to protect the hive. Thus propolis is known as 'nature's best defence'. Propolis is a powerful antiseptic agent and is unfailing in its ability to initiate the body's own immune defences, inhibiting the spread of unwanted disease.
