Stingless bees are indigenous pollinators of treasured herbal plants. Propolis of stingless bees is a natural, strongly adhesive mixture made of bee secretions and plant resins. Stingless bee Propolis exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities that vary depending on the geographical location, climate, generic type of bees and availability of botanical sources for the bees to forage.
Stingless bees use propolis to reinforce the structural integrity of the hive, reduce vibration inside the hive, and to make the hive more defensible by sealing alternate entrances.
