Discover Beezi’s propolis, a natural resinous material collected by honeybees from tree buds. This 15g piece of unprocessed propolis, often called ‘bee glue,’ is offered in its pure form for those interested in beekeeping supplies and natural DIY projects.
What is Propolis?
Propolis is a sticky substance bees create by mixing tree sap with beeswax. They use it as a sealant to line and protect their hive. This piece allows you to explore the unique texture and aromatic qualities of this natural beehive material.
Common DIY & Craft Uses
Propolis is used by crafters and enthusiasts to create homemade items. Due to its resinous nature, it requires preparation.
- Infused Oils & Balms: Can be gently melted into carrier oils (like olive or coconut oil) as a base for homemade wood polish or leather conditioners.
- Infused Honey: A small piece can be added to honey to create a uniquely flavoured infused honey for culinary use.
- Historical Crafts: Explore its traditional use as a natural ingredient in varnishes or sealants for small woodworking projects.
Important Usage & Safety Notes
- Not for Direct Consumption: This propolis resin is not intended for direct eating or chewing.
- Allergy Warning: Do not handle or use if you have known allergies to bee stings or other bee products (such as honey, pollen, or royal jelly).
- Consult a Professional: If you are considering any internal use, consult with a qualified healthcare professional beforehand. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing individuals.
- Handling: Propolis is sticky and can harden. It may stain surfaces and be difficult to clean. Handle with care.
