Propolis as a subject of specialist interest
The word propolis comes from the Greek “pro” (before) and “polis” (city), which refers to its role within the hive. Bees collect this resinous substance from plants and use it to adjust the inner space of the hive, seal small gaps and maintain the environment in which the colony naturally lives.
Specialist sources on propolis focus mainly on its origin, chemical composition and the differences between propolis from different parts of the world. Areas of interest include phenolic compounds, flavonoids and other naturally occurring components, the proportions of which may vary depending on the plant sources around the hives.
For products containing propolis, it is therefore important to look especially at the origin of the raw material, processing method, composition, form of use and quality control. These details help compare different propolis extracts more clearly.
📌 Important notice: Propolis is a natural bee product and is not approved as a medicine. The information given describes the raw material, its origin and processing; it is not for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease.
Propolis: a resinous raw material from the hive
Propolis, often referred to as bee glue, is a resinous substance that bees obtain from tree buds, resins and other plant sources. It has a practical role in the hive: bees use it to seal small gaps and adjust the inner surfaces of the hive.
How propolis works in the hive
Bees use propolis as a building and filling material. It helps them fill cracks and gaps, reinforce parts of the hive and maintain the environment in which the colony naturally lives. This role in the hive is one reason why propolis has long been valued by beekeepers and customers who look for traditional bee products.
Propolis in food supplements and natural products
Propolis is used in different types of products – from food supplements and cosmetics to other products containing bee-derived raw materials. In product texts on propolis, we keep mainly to verifiable details: origin, form, composition, processing method and dosage.
Collecting propolis: a gentle approach to bees
Collecting propolis requires a careful approach that respects the natural rhythm of the colony. According to its own materials, BEE&YOU does not collect propolis directly from inside the hive, but uses special propolis traps with small openings made from food-grade plastic.
These traps are placed under the inner cover of the hive. During their normal work, the bees gradually fill them with propolis. Once the traps are full, they can be removed without disturbing the main hive space.
This method of collection makes it possible to obtain propolis while taking the normal function of the colony into account, and at the same time preserving the natural character of the raw material.
Anatolian propolis – origin in Turkey
Anatolian propolis comes, according to the brand’s materials, from a region of Turkey known for its botanical diversity. According to the brand’s materials, it contains naturally occurring phenolic and flavonoid compounds, including kyselina kávová, quercetin, galangin, chlorogenová kyselina, kyselina linolenová, apigenin či chrysin.
With propolis products, it is important to look mainly at the origin of the raw material, collection method, propolis concentration, extract form and quality control. These details help compare different propolis extracts more clearly.
According to its own materials, BEE&YOU uses a patented extraction technology focused on gentle processing of propolis and preservation of the natural profile of this bee-derived raw material. The main distinguishing points include the Anatolian origin of the propolis and the processing method that the brand has developed over the long term.

What is propolis and what are its benefits
Propolis is a natural resinous substance that bees collect from the buds, leaves and stems of plants. Due to its sticky consistency and antimicrobial properties, they use it to protect their hive from pathogens.
The bees cover the walls of the hive with a layer of propolis, sterilizing the cells of the honeycomb and creating an ideal environment for the queen to lay her eggs.
Propolis also serves as a natural preservative - it protects honey, royal jelly and pollen from microorganisms in the hive.
The name "propolis" comes from Greek and means "before the city", symbolizing its role as the first line of defense of the bee colony.
Propolis is a rich source of bioactive substances, especially flavonoids, phenolic acids and terpenes, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
These compounds can help fight free radicals, support the immune system and protect the body from infections. Studies show that propolis can be effective in treating fungal infections such as athlete's foot, for example, and its regular use can contribute to respiratory, skin and oral health.
However, in order for the human body to fully utilize its potential, it is necessary to extract the raw propolis using alcohol or other solvents, which increases its bioavailability and allows the release of the active ingredients.
BEE&YOU certification and quality
BEE&YOU places great emphasis on the quality and authenticity of its products, as evidenced by a strict four-stage inspection system. First, a preliminary analysis of raw material samples from contract beekeepers is carried out to ensure that they meet the required standards. The raw materials are then subjected to further testing in laboratories.
After processing on the production line, the semi-finished products are analysed before filling. Finished products, such as tablets, drops, sprays, syrups and cosmetic products, then undergo rigorous testing in laboratories right in our 10,700 m² production hall.
Finally, the products are independently tested by accredited laboratories and universities, ensuring their high quality. In the latest audit by the independent German organisation DQS CFS GmbH, the brand scored an impressive 98.06 points out of 100 in the IFS Food assessment and was awarded the prestigious BRC AA+ certificate.
BEE&YOU products are certified to local and international standards including GMP, BRC, IFS, SEDEX, ISO 9000, ISO 22000, ISO 14001, Kosher, Cosmos and Organic. These certifications cover food, dietary supplements and cosmetics. Thanks to these standards and rigorous quality management, the brand guarantees that each product not only delivers natural values, but also meets the highest safety and quality requirements.

Why Anatolian propolis is unique
Anatolian propolis comes from the unspoiled mountain regions of Anatolia, which is one of the richest regions in the world with more than 12,000 species of plants.
Thanks to patented extraction technology, this propolis has an extremely high antioxidant content - up to 80 times more than pomegranate juice - and contains at least 15 different phenolic and flavonoid compounds such as caffeic acid, quercetin and resveratrol.
Regular consumption of this propolis extract at the recommended daily dose can boost immunity, fight oxidative stress and contribute to the health of the whole body.
Moreover, Anatolian propolis is collected from one of the cleanest and least polluted environments on Earth, ensuring its high quality and purity.
The unique composition of this propolis is the result of the biodiversity of the region, where bees obtain raw materials from a wide range of plants rich in active substances, which gives it exceptional nutritional and therapeutic properties.
