What sets Bee&You apart from other brands?
There are many products with propolis and royal jelly on the market, and they can differ in ingredient origin, processing method and level of quality control. Bee&You takes a different approach to production, with an emphasis on purity, ingredient origin and sustainability.
Careful testing for maximum quality
Bee&You places strong emphasis on careful control of both ingredients and finished products containing propolis and royal jelly. The brand monitors quality from the hive through to the finished product, so the customer receives a product with clear origin, controlled composition and a high standard of processing.
Controlled ingredient origin
Bee&You selects its ingredients carefully and works with verified beekeepers. This gives the brand greater control over the origin, purity and collection method of the bee-derived ingredients used.
The role of propolis in the hive
Propolis has an important natural function in the hive. Bees use it to seal small cracks and gaps and to help maintain a stable environment inside the hive. This is why propolis has been valued for centuries as one of the characteristic bee-derived ingredients, with a distinctive composition and origin.
Propolis: a natural treasure, not only for bees
Propolis, often called "bee glue", is a fascinating natural substance that bees collect from tree buds and plants. This resinous material plays an important role in bee life and is valued by people around the world as a traditional bee product.
Propolis in bee life
In the hive, propolis acts as a multifunctional natural material. Bees use it to seal cracks and gaps and to adjust the internal environment of the hive. Thanks to its resinous consistency and specific composition, propolis is an important part of the natural functioning of the bee colony.
Propolis and its use in products
People have used propolis for centuries for its unique composition, origin and specific characteristics. In this description, we present it as a traditional bee-derived ingredient used in food supplements, cosmetics and other natural products.
Collecting propolis: gentle methods for bees and the environment
Collecting propolis requires a sensitive approach that respects the natural rhythm of the bees. BEE&YOU never collects propolis directly from inside the hive, because bees need it for their home to function and to make other bee products. Instead, they use special propolis traps, which have small openings and are made from food-grade plastic.
These traps are placed under the inner cover of the hive. The bees naturally fill them with propolis during their normal work on sealing the hive. Once the traps are full, we gently remove them, without disturbing the bees or causing them any harm.
This collection method is gentle on the bees and also allows the collection of quality propolis with a characteristic composition, natural origin and typical colour.
Anatolian propolis – natural richness from Turkey
Anatolian propolis, from the rich ecosystems of Turkey, naturally contains various phenolic and flavonoid compounds, including caffeic acid, quercetin, galangin, chlorogenic acid, linolenic acid, apigenin and chrysin.
The character of Anatolian propolis is shaped mainly by the origin of the raw material, the diversity of the local flora and the way it is processed. Anatolia is known for its rich natural environment and varied plant life, from which bees obtain resinous substances to make propolis.
BEE&YOU uses a patented extraction technology, allowing gentle processing of propolis and the production of a standardised extract. The main factors that influence the quality of this propolis include the region it comes from, cooperation with verified beekeepers and the extraction technology.

Bee products beyond the winter season: how to choose the right one?
As the colder months arrive, we often look for natural products that are easy to include in the everyday diet. Traditional bee products such as propolis, honey and pollen have been valued for centuries for their distinctive composition, origin and varied uses. How can you understand the differences, and what should you look at when choosing them?
Propolis: an important part of the beehive
Propolis is a natural blend of resins that bees collect from buds of trees and plants and then further process. In the hive, they use it to seal small gaps and to adjust the internal environment. Thanks to its complex composition, it naturally contains various substances, including polyphenolic and flavonoid compounds.
Propolis is a popular ingredient in various natural products. It can be found on the market as drops, sprays or tinctures, which are practical for everyday use according to the recommended dosage.
Honey: a natural sweetener with a gentle taste
Honey is a popular natural sweetener with a typical taste and aroma. It naturally contains sugars and is often used in hot drinks and various products during the winter months.
Alongside standard flower honey, there are also special varieties, such as honey with propolis or pollen, combining several bee products in one.
Bee pollen and royal jelly: traditional bee products
Bee pollen is a bee product with a varied natural composition. It is often included as part of a varied diet and can be used, for example, in porridge, yoghurt or smoothies.
Royal jelly, produced by bees to nourish their queen, is another well-known bee-derived ingredient with a characteristic composition. It can be found as capsules, tablets or liquid extracts, which are easy to include in a normal routine.

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.

The natural wealth of bee products and the uniqueness of Anatolian propolis
Ingredients used by BEE&YOU
BEE&YOU products are based on natural bee products that are known for their extraordinary health benefits.
Key ingredients include propolis, royal jelly, honey and pollen. Propolis is rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids that support the immune system and have antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
Royal jelly contains high amounts of protein, vitamins and essential amino acids, making it a nutritional treasure.
Apart from its delicious taste, honey brings energy to the body, supports digestion and has antibacterial properties.

In addition, the use of patented extraction technology ensures that all the active ingredients from these natural ingredients are preserved to the best possible extent, bringing maximum health benefits to the consumer.
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.
