Ah, propolis. Nature’s glue, hive duct tape, and ancient apothecary secret all in one. Bees make it from tree resin, sap, and their own enzymes, and use it to seal cracks in the hive and sterilize intruders. It’s got antifungal, antibacterial, and possibly ancient-bee-magic properties. Humans have been using it for centuries for everything from wound care to sore throats. Can you eat it? Technically yes, some folks chew it or take it as a supplement. But it’s sticky, bitter, and... well, not exactly a gummy bear. Check with your friendly local herbalist. Or just ask your friend. Who is, suspiciously, you.
