Bees make more than just honey. They also make an amazing substance called Propolis. And this "bee glue" has powerful healing properties .
蜜蜂不是只生产蜂蜜，它们同时也制造出有着神奇力量的蜂胶。这种胶质有着出色的愈合能力。Bees make propolis by gathering resin from trees and plants. They take it back to the hive and use this sticky substance to patch holes, seal cracks and build panels in the hive. It also acts as an antiseptic barrier protecting the hive from bacteria and viruses and also for embalming intruders like mice and lizards otherwise difficult to expel due to their size. In fact, the name propolis comes from the Greek meaning "defence of the city."
蜜蜂通过树和植物的树脂采集胶质（蜂胶），然后飞回到巢穴后制造蜂巢体、修补漏洞和裂缝。蜂胶还用作隔绝细菌和病毒保护蜂巢；它还能阻挡老鼠和蜥蜴等小体积生物入侵。蜂胶的名字来源于希腊语，意思是“城市的防御”。Researchers found that bees living in hives coated with propolis are healthier as they have lower bacteria in their body and also 'quieter' immune systems. Propolis contains as many as 300 active compounds and it’s these compounds that can help with not only the health of the bee but also human health too.
