Honey
Pacifica features propolis, as one of our many rare bee products.
Propolis is nature’s antiseptic marvel. Eating propolis
daily in small doses can help strengthen the immune system against
bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including the flu. Unlike medicine,
which attacks both healthful and harmful bacteria, propolis only
goes after bad bacteria. Furthermore, propolis is not affected
by the various mutations of bacteria, as it works against all
strains in general. Propolis is made from resin that is seeped
by tree bark or buds, which bees gather and mix with waxy flakes.
The bees use propolis as a lining to create sterile cells for
the upcoming brood (baby bees). Contents of propolis include 55%
resin and balsam, 30% beeswax, 10% ethereal and aromatic oils,
and 5% pollen.
