Propolis
Honeybees carefully select specific plant resins and blend them with beeswax to produce Propolis, which they use to help maintain the health of their hive. For centuries humans have harvested Propolis for its use as a natural immunity product – due to its high levels of antioxidant bioflavonoids.
With a long history of medicinal use, many people choose Propolis as a natural remedy to support their body through ills and chills, and to help maintain their immune health year round.
Comvita offer a Propolis Herbal Elixir, also containing Manuka Honey and Echinacea for immune support and to help soothe dry throats.
Propolis Elixir available from Comvita.
Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is produced by honeybees after pollinating Manuka trees, found here in New Zealand.
Honey has been used topically for thousands of years as a healing substance in various cultures. Our New Zealand Manuka honey contains unique compounds that are not found in other honeys. Today Manuka honey has numerous uses, including as a natural health product to help soothe tickly throats. Medical grade honey can be applied directly on the skin for wound healing and is also suitable for eczema sufferers.

Bee Pollen
Honeybees collect bee pollen from forests and pastures. It is then carefully dried and processed for human consumption, to ensure there is no damage or oxidation of the vital nutrients.
Raw bee pollen is known as an extraordinary natural source of Protein, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), and Iron. Regular consumers of bee pollen say they feel a greater sense of vitality and wellbeing and love this natural product for its versatility.
A heaped teaspoon of bee pollen granules is great added to your morning smoothie or bowl of cereal, or alternatively you can take bee pollen capsules as a natural multi-vitamin.
Comvita offer bee pollen granules and capsules.
