Propolis is a sticky substance produced by honey bees that they use to seal and reinforce their hives by gluing structural elements together. Bees produce it as a practical building material that hardens over time, making it strong enough to require significant effort to separate when beekeepers work with their hives.

Propolis is een lijmachtige substantie, gemaakt door honingbijen uit knoppen, sap van planten en bomen (meestal hars), en andere botanische bronnen. Propolis wordt door bijen gebruikt om ongewenste kieren en openingen in het nest te dichten en de wanden te bekleden. De kleur van propolis varieert per bron, maar donkerbruin komt het meest voor. Rond kamertemperatuur is propolis kleverig, maar bij lagere temperaturen is het hard en broos. Propolis was al in de Griekse oudheid bekend om zijn geneeskrachtige werking en is een krachtig anti-bioticum; het werkt bacterie- en schimmeldodend.
