“Bee” Botanical Essential Oil Supplement is a proprietary blend of 10 plant oils and extracts. Honey Bees have been exposed to plant oil and extracts for millions of years. Plant oils and extracts are essential when the honey bee creates propolis. Propolis consists of resins, waxes, pollen and essential oils. This mixture is crucial in helping to aid the colony from unwanted pathogens, a form of self medication. The honey bee seals cracks or openings in the colony with this mixture, and also creates a layer on the whole colony. The mixture that a honey bee creates is beneficial as it is known to have antimicrobial properties.
