YS BEE FARMSOrganic 70% Ultra Strength Propolis, 1 OZ

I love this high potency propolis! I will use it several times per day at the first signs of a cold and then as needed. Since it is thick and sticky, I just use 3/4 of a dropper directly to the back of my throat to stop a cough in its tracks.

I’ve had a pesky wart on a finger for over a year; the bandage must be changed every time I wash my hands. I’ve tried all of the various OTC treatments available; I’ve tried various essential oils - and while it shrinks, it doesn’t shrink as much as I’d like to see. And it’s still there.After using this propolis for 10 days, I’m seeing the wart diminish in size (diameter) as well as it’s flattening more and more each day. I really think this will make the wart go away, and I’m very pleased with this propolis product. (This is a recurring wart, that I initially got as a kid. So, it’s come & gone many times over the years, but hasn’t stayed there so long before. I’ve also had previous eruptions of the wart frozen at the doctor’s office and it will go away - for a while. I’m hoping this kills it off forever!)It is a thick resin, but the dropper works fine to put a drop on the wart. I put one sticky bandaid end on my finger, then partially wrap the bandage around the finger until the pad is close to the wart, then add the drop of propolis to the wart, and then wrap the bandage the rest of the way around my finger. This way, the bandage pad catches any “running” of the propolis.Yes, it will stain your countertop, so I keep a small piece of double folded wax paper on the counter under where I’m using it, to catch drips now, and a paper towel, too. I did spill some; I wiped it up immediately with a paper towel, then used a bit of avocado oil and some elbow grease to get it off the countertop. Remember to screw the lid on immediately to avoid knocking it over accidentally like I did!I’ve not tasted it, so I can’t mention anything on that.I’m very pleased with this product and I wish I’d found it a year or more ago. I will keep this in stock in our home.

I figured out by accident that one smear of this propolis on your skin right when you get burned- takes the burn out of your skin immediately. It is amazing- and to be sure I hadn’t discovered some new invention, I googled propolis for burns and found an NIH article comparing propolis to Silver sulfadiazine cream and that showed propolis had better results! So there y’all go, you will buy 5 bottles and give them to every mom you know after you try it one time!

It’s not easy to take due to water insoluble liquid

This is the REAL deal! Strong, potent, and high-concentrate. I've tried many types of propolis, and this is simply the best. Why? Because it's so highly concentrated (read: undiluted). What that means is that it will taste awful! And that's how you know it's real: it's not tainted with flavors or cover-ups or diluted with too much substrate. Nobody takes propolis for its flavor, we take it for its healing properties (for severe coughs, lung ailments, warts, tooth infections, and so much more). So for those of you rating it poorly based on flavor, by golly, you bough it for the wrong reason. If you want to buy a bee product based on flavor, buy honey, not propolis. Being from Eastern Europe we grow up using this stuff for everything from severe coughs (mixed with honey) to tooth aches/infections and even warts. I've used it on ALL these things and this brand is simply the best! Better than anything I've been able to find in either the US or Eastern Europe. Thank you for a genuine, high quality product that tastes awful (and therefore I know it's unadulterated)!

This is very, very, thick, only gives you a very small amount in the dropper and once you get it out, it doesnt mix well w/ honey or any other liquids. After reading the reviews, I thought I would give it a try, maybe I could find a way to use it. But nope, I ended up throwing it away. I went to my local health food store and found a jar of Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen & Propolis and it is already mixed in honey. I can still taste the propolis in it (which is a very strong taste), but it is much more palitable since its already mixed in the honey. I can let it melt in my mouth and I can still get the vitamins and good benefits that all 3 give me. I don't have to worry about the mess that this propolis gives, it sticks to the spoon, the sink, your teeth, the glass...I'm not sure why you would get this liquid form, but I don't recommend it at all.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve used this product for over three years. Over the last year and a half or so I’ve noticed how it’s been coming in a lot more liquid and not as viscous as it used to. Will post this as a question so that others can chime in to see if they’ve had a similar experience.

Get this. Only this.Pic shows this stuff against another best seller - why pay for 80% alcohol and ONLY 20% propolis when the medicinal point of it is the propolis!?Yes it’s thick, gooey, sticky, and smells/tastes funky, but that’s propolis!Just drop a bit in the back of your mouth n chase it with any drink. It’s too strong and doesn’t mix well to just add to a drink. I have empty gelcaps I use for Biosil drops so I just fill one of those.WHAT IS PROPOLIS?It’s texture even has some tree sap qualities because propolis is from when bees pick up tree sap which they bring back to their hive and mix with their gooey stuff. And because sap is part of pine trees’ immune system that shields trees from pathogens and viruses, bees barrow those protective properties for their colonies, and humans do too!
