mezcla resinosa fabricada por abejas del género Apis, usada como antiséptico, desinfectante y antibiótico natural
Propolis is a sticky substance produced by honey bees that they use to seal and reinforce their hives by gluing structural elements together. Bees produce it as a practical building material that hardens over time, making it strong enough to require significant effort to separate when beekeepers work with their hives.

El propóleo (gr. προπόλεως propóleōs, genitivo de πρόπολις própolis) (también, propóleos) es una mezcla resinosa obtenida por las abejas de las yemas de los árboles, exudados de savia u otras fuentes vegetales y que luego procesan en la colmena como sellante de pequeños huecos (6 mm o menos), en ocasiones mezclado con cera y para "barnizar" todo el interior de la colmena. Para huecos mayores, las abejas usan cera. El color del propóleo depende de la fuente de la que lo hayan obtenido, y el más común es marrón oscuro. A temperatura ambiente (20 °C), el propóleo es pegajoso y a temperaturas menores solidifica.
