Have you ever heard of Apitherapy before? No?
Well, get ready to be amazed because it's all about how bees can help us stay healthy!
Apitherapy comes from the Greek word "apis," which means bee. So, essentially, it's therapy using bee products. But what kind of products are we talking about here? Well, think about all the things bees make: honey, pollen, royal jelly, and propolis.
Honey
We all know honey is sweet and delicious, but did you know it's also packed with nutrients and has been used for centuries to treat all sorts of ailments? From soothing sore throats to healing wounds, honey is like nature's own medicine.

Pollen
Bees collect pollen from flowers. Pollen is like a superfood for bees, and it turns out it's pretty good for us too! It's rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help boost our immune system and give us more energy.
Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a special substance that worker bees make to feed the queen bee. It's like superfood for bees, and some people believe it can have similar benefits for us humans too, like improving skin health and boosting our immune system.
Propolis
Bees use propolis to seal up their hives and keep them germ-free. But it turns out propolis has some pretty powerful antimicrobial properties, which means it can help fight off infections and keep us healthy too.
What is Propolis?
Protective resin from the buds of certain trees such as poplar, horse chestnut, ash, willow or even oak. Propolis is harvested then transformed by worker bees who use it for various applications. It is mainly used as a protective material (natural defender of the hive), insulation, construction and repair, in particular by being a "cement" for the different elements of the hive. It seals cracks, reduces theft holes and allows better control of intrusions.
