…is the medicinal use of honey bee products and has been practiced since ancient times. The more common hive products we use are honey, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly but apitherapy also includes the use of bee stings (or venom).  At Chinook Honey Company we believe that the health benefits available from the bees are endless and we offer the following quality apitherapy products. But first, what is propolis?
PROPOLIS is produced by bees from tree resins, such as poplars and various conifers and used to sterilize and seal the hive.  Often called "nature's penicillin", it has been used by man for thousands of years for its remarkable antibiotic, ant-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidizing qualities. It is a natural broad spectrum antibiotic that activates the thymus gland.
