Product Description
WHAT IS BEE PROPOLIS?

Bee Propolis is a substance made by the honeybee that provides protection against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi. Propolis is plant resin collected by bees for use in and around the hive. In plants it is usually the sticky coating around buds that serves to protect them from the elements of weather plus from attack by bacteria, fungi, molds, and viruses. These are properties that are useful to the bees and are enhanced by the sticky properties of the propolis beeglue. Like pollen, propolis beeglue is a bee product that cannot be clearly defined and varies from sample to sample. This is a natural outcome of the collection process. Propolis collecting bees will use resins from a large variety of tree and other plant species, and these naturally will differ in their qualitative and quantitative chemical composition. Nevertheless, different bee propolis extract samples do share considerable similarity in their physical and overall general chemical nature.

Hundreds of chemical compounds have been identified from bee propolis extract. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics, and various aromatic compounds. Bee propolis extract also contains some volatile oils, terpenes, and beeswax, but these compounds are not believed to contribute as significantly to the chemical properties and effects of propolis.

Flavonoids are well-known plant compounds that have antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Other properties of propolis beeglue include acting as a local anesthetic, reducing spasms, healing gastric ulcers, and strengthening capillaries.

HOW MUCH PROPOLIS DO I TAKE?
The FDA has not determined any guidelines for taking bee propolis products. It is generally recommended that you take from 1to 3 (250mg) capsules daily as a dietary supplement.

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE PROPOLIS?
If you are allergic to bee stings that does not mean that you can't take Propolis. However any bee product can provoke an allergic reaction in a susceptible individual. If you experience any type of reaction we recommend you discontinue use of this product and consult a physician.

Who should not take honey bee products?

If you are allergic to bee stings that does not mean that you can't take honey bee products. However any honey bee product can provoke an allergic reaction in a susceptible individual. If you feel you are susceptible or you experience any type of reaction we recommend you discontinue use of our products and consult a physician immediately.

could you let me know the propolis percentage in your propolis product, and are there other ingredients?

Each capsule contains 500mg of Propolis. The capsules are gelatin capsules that also contain a very small amount of honey and carub. Capsules are described by the amount of Milligrams, not percentages. A copy of the label has been added to the site for you to view.

Does one need 500 or 1000mg of the freeze dried royal jelly to effectively get into the system? You all have 120 capsules, is that a month's supply or less? Thanks!

We are beekeepers, not doctors. While we can not tell you how much to take we can tell you that most of our customers take 3 capsules per day of the Queen's Delight® which gives you a total of 1000mg of Royal Jelly, 600mg of Propolis, and 1500mg of Pollen. Taking 3 capsules per day will give you a one month supply. We have thousands of happy customers who have been very pleased with the energy the feel after taking Queen's Delight®. There have been many customers who have reported that their canker sore and herpes outbreaks have decreased significantly after taking Queen's Delight®. For those taking just the Royal Jelly 500mg, many take 1 to 3 capsules per day. That will be a 1 to 3 month supply depending on how much you take.

Have you changed your prices? The discounts on your brochure are different than the website.

Over the last 12 years we have almost made no changes on the website pricing. Given the rising cost of manufacturing we had to consider raising prices or adjusting our discount levels. We chose the latter as we felt it would be best for all customers. We still offer quantity discounts, we just require a slightly higher volume to get that pricing. We offer the highest quality honeybee products on the market and we will continue to offer those at a great price for our valued customers. Durham's Bee Farm has also started offering free shipping for orders over $75 which many customers are benefiting from. We appreciate your business and thank you for understanding the slight change in our discount structure.
