WHAT IS PROPOLIS?
Propolis is the defender of the hive. Bees use it to line the walls and keep germs out. We use it to support our immune systems, soothe scratchy throats, combat free radical damage in the body, and feed the good bacteria in our gut.
Vitamins B, C & D
Zinc
Antioxidants
Polyphenols & Flavonoids
Sustainable Beekeeping
We’re dedicated to developing a sustainable supply of propolis that honors the bees, the environment, and our consumers. Every apiary we work with is required to adhere to our Quality Protocol, designed to prioritize the health of the bees.
Ensuring the production area is free from pesticides
Leaving enough honey and pollen for the bees and avoiding artificial feeding
Building hives with sustainable, recyclable, and natural materials
Avoiding any form of genetic modification
Keeping hives free from chemical residues
ASK US ANYTHING.
We love to talk about sourcing. All of our products come from remote apiaries located far from harmful chemicals, including locations in Canada, Europe, and South America. We work with our apiary partners to ensure that our bee products are sustainably-sourced and of the highest quality. We always put the health of the bees first.
Every third bite of food you eat comes from the bees. Without them, we’d lose apples, almonds, cucumbers, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, and more if the bees disappear. And that’s just one of the many consequences of losing our buzzing yellow friends.
There is rarely a correlation between allergies to bee stings (bee venom) and bee products. However, we always recommend consulting with a health professional in situations like this. Your safety is our number-one priority.
Our products are not certified organic, but we do third-party test all of our formulas for pesticides and heavy metals to ensure that we only bottle the very best ingredients.
Because bees fly and forage from areas far outside the certified organic radius, this certification doesn't have the same importance when you’re buying bee products as it does when you’re buying produce. What’s more, most small, sustainable beekeepers can't afford the certification process. The larger, commercial beekeepers who can pay for the certification don’t always practice sustainable beekeeping or treat their bees like family (as we do). Consider that food for thought next time you’re buying honey or clean medicines made with honey.
We have many parents in our community who love our products and find them beneficial throughout their motherhood journey. That said, everyone is different and as with most supplements, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before taking any of our products during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
