Propolis
Bees collect resin from trees, beekeepers called it Propolis have looked it up but cannot find satisfactory answer do bees add something to it or is it just resin,

My *bible* states that resin and balms make up about 55%. The rest is essential oils (7%) , wax (30%), pollen (3%) and other various substances.
