Bee Protection For Your Immune System
Honeybees are clever. They make bee propolis by collecting resin from trees and combine it with beeswax and enzymes to seal and protect the hive. This barrier provides powerful protection, warding off any incoming bacteria, viruses, fungi and other illness from entering the hive.
Honeybees even lay down a mat made of propolis to walk over and cleanse themselves as they enter the hive.
Bee propolis protects our body in the same way it protects the hive. Because bee propolis originates from a plant’s immune system, it’s extremely potent and contains over 300 natural, bioactive compounds, flavonoids and phenolics (potent anti-oxidants) that work at a cellular level to fight free radicals and support the body’s immune system, naturally.
BACKED BY SCIENCE
There are now many scientific studies that prove the immune power of the beehive and what people have known for centuries – that natural bee propolis works when it comes to immune function support¹ and antibacterial support.
In fact, over the past two decades, there has been a ten-fold increase in bee propolis research papers with over 4,000 scientific papers now published.
NOT ALL BEE PROPOLIS IS CREATED EQUAL
The Comvita Difference:
What makes Immune Bee different from others is our measure of flavonoids (it’s the flavonoids that matter when buying propolis, as these bioactive compounds are what support the immune system – not the amount of propolis or fresh equivalent of propolis consumed).
Together with the Cawthorn Institute (a leading New Zealand Government Research Institute), Comvita has developed a unique advanced analytical technology that measures the concentration of pure flavonoids per serve of bee propolis. Through this technology, you can be assured of potent amount of flavonoids, in every spray.

POTENT ANTIOXIDANT POWER
We know that bee propolis originates from plants and that it contains over 300 bioactive compounds, flavonoids and phenolics that can help fight free radicals and support your immune system, naturally.
But just how rich in antioxidants is bee propolis?
In our recently completed ORAC¹ study, which measures the antioxidant potential of foods, Comvita Immune Bee Propolis packs a significant punch, coming out on top of other well- known antioxidant superfoods such as blueberries, green tea and even elderberry!
PURE PROPOLIS
Unlike synthetic immunity supplements made in factories, our Comvita Immune Bee Propolis is made in nature, by honeybees, in beehives. We source raw propolis, gently wash away the beeswax, debris and other impurities leaving behind pure, propolis concentrated extract. This concentrate is then lovingly bottled into formats for your convenience.
We source our raw propolis from Comvita beekeepers and trusted beekeeping partners. Because bees can collect propolis from up to five kilometres in any direction from their hive, we triple test all of our raw propolis for pesticides, residues, heavy metals and other chemicals to ensure every batch meets our stringent quality criteria.
We don’t add artificial flavours, colours or preservatives to our bee propolis products, so that you receive only the purest and most potent flavonoids in every daily dose!
AN ANCIENT REMEDY
The name ‘propolis’ is derived from the Ancient Greekwords ‘zπρο’ (pro) which means ‘in defence of,’ and ‘πόλις’ (polis), meaning ‘city’, the overall meaning being ‘in defence of the city’.
Bee propolis, often referred to as ‘bee glue’, is a centuries-old natural medicine, with usage tracing back to Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans who used it for treating wounds, skin and mouth infections.
