The crude propolis used in the production of our purified propolis extracts is collected entirely sustainably by Manitoban bee farmers. All our propolis is traced to source and is rigorously tested by independent laboratories and verified to be free from heavy metals and pesticides. The collection of propolis by the beekeeper happens at the time of honey extraction and doesn’t cause any harm to the bees whatsoever. We take excess lumps of crude propolis from the honey supers. We have been purifying propolis in Winnipeg, Manitoba for over twenty years following a tried and tested technique which was originally developed by Dr Zenon Sosnowski (MSc, PhD), who spent over 35 years of his life researching bee propolis.

Thyme. As well as being a staple ingredient in most kitchens and has been included within countless recipes for centuries, thyme has a number of beneficial qualities leading us to include the oil extracts of thyme as one of the key ingredients within our formulations. Rich in vitamins A and C, thyme oil can help in boosting your immune system. Thyme oil’s antimicrobial activity has also been the subject of numerous studies, where put to the test, thyme extracts were proven to control bacteria, mold and fungi. It is acknowledged that more research is needed as to the potential benefits of thyme, but this pleasant-smelling natural herb is an important component in our cough/cold range.

Inspecting the frames in bee boxes. These regular inspections help the beekeeper to keep abreast of the health of their bee colonies, spot any problems early and deal with any issues as they occur. It’s simple. Healthy bees = good honey flow.

Raw honey is known to contain phytonutrients and it’s this array of plant chemicals that act as antioxidants. Antioxidants help to protect your body from cell damage due to free radicals. It’s true that certain honey contains as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables and there’s a growing body of evidence which suggests that these antioxidant compounds called polyphenols play a key role in helping your body to prevent diseases and stay healthy.
