For years, humankind has been receiving a lot of benefits from bees. From pollination to food, bees have proven to be beneficial to us. Aside from honey, one of the better known foods from bees is bee propolis or what is commonly known as royal jelly.
Used primarily by bees to fortify their hives, seal smaller cracks, prevent diseases, parasites and other animals from entering their hives, bee propolis have been known to prevent putrefaction of whatever dead foreign body is found within the hives. If a larger animal dies within the hive and the bees are unable to carry it out and away of their hives, they cover the carcass with royal jelly. This mummifies it, thus making it odorless and harmless.
Bee propolis is made by the bees from botanical sources like tree buds and saps. It has been touted to have medicinal properties and is thought to be beneficial to human health. A lot of traditional medicine practitioners have used bee propolis to treat and relieve infections, cataracts, ulcers, viral diseases, slight burns. It is also said to be able to strengthen the heart and the immune system. What’s more, it is said that the bee propolis makes a good antibiotic and antifungal, and can help you prevent allergies and cancer.

It is difficult to determine just what comprises bee propolis. Aside from having a very complex chemical structure with more than 200 components, bee propolis varies in composition depending on where it was obtained, the season in which it was manufactured and what vegetation, trees and flowers are nearby. However, bee propolis is often rich in vitamins B-complex, C, E and pro-vitamin A. It also has minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, silica, potassium, copper, and magnesium among other things.
Pet owners now have another thing to be thankful for the existence of bees. Bee propolis has been shown to be a good natural supplement that is great at preventing cancer, inflammation, and tumors even in animals and pets. It hinders the production of T-cells, which is responsible for a lot of inflammatory diseases. These properties make it an effective safeguard from cancer, tumors and inflammation.
Lastly, bee propolis as a natural medication for your pets is safe. There are no reported side effects aside from allergies (usually acquired by people who are also allergic to bees and beestings).

@chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.
