    resinous substance collected by bees to seal hive gaps

    Propolis, also known as bee glue, is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. Bees use it to seal gaps in their hives, providing structural stability and protection against pathogens. Rich in bioactive compounds, propolis has been studied for its potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it of interest in both traditional and modern medicine.
