In recent years, the attention of researchers has been attracted by the use of a beekeeping product, propolis, as a therapeutic drug for a number of diseases. Bee propolis is made from pollen. According to Shcherbina, propolis contains 55% resins and balsams, about 30% wax, 8-10% fatty oils and 5% pollen. Propolis - bee glue - has been known to folk medicine since ancient times as a good remedy in the treatment of malignant neoplasms and wounds. It was widely used by doctors in the treatment of wounds during the Boer War.
