Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Bee Propolis for Antibacterial Properties in Varying Concentrations.
Abstract/Description
Marjorie Dickinson, a graduate of Columbia University and a practicing massage therapist, discusses the antibacterial properties of bee propolis. Propolis is a resinous mixture of beeswax, bee saliva, and plant exudate which bees use as sealant in their hives. After outlining the process by which propolis is created, Dickinson highlights the properties which make it antibiotic and examines whether what works for the bees might work for humans.
