- Description
- Propolis is a mixture of plant-derived substances, and sometimes wax, collected by most Apis mellifera subspecies for use as caulking and entrance-reducing material and as a colony sealant and sterilant (Ruttner 1988; Schmidt and Buchmann 1992; Hepburn and Radloff 1998). Additionally, it is used in honey bee defense against colony invaders, particularly Aethina tumida Murray (small hive beetles) (Hepburn and Radloff 1998; Neumann et al. 2001; Ellis 2002).
