It is also called bee glue. Just like honey, propolis varies from hive to hive. Within the hive propolis is used for many things like patching small holes, preventing putrefaction when large intruders (like mice) crawl into the hive and die, and inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth. Bees disinfect the hive using propolis.  It is composed of primarily resins and vegetable balsams, waxes, essential oils and pollen.  At room temperature and warmer, the propolis is sticky, and at lower temperatures, it becomes hard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn composition, propolis is very rich in nutrients:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 50 mineral components: mercury, copper, potassium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus and others;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamins A, E, B1, B2, B6;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcids: pantheonic, nicotinic, glutamic;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhenolic acids;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrogenous substances;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavonoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA pleasant rich smell of bee glue is obtained due to the mixture consisting of the essential oils of various plants, their resins, and pollen, 30% of the composition of propolis is wax.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe most important quality of propolis is its use as an effective antibacterial agent.
