Bee Glue (Propolis) is a malleable, waxy substance produced by honeybees that they use to smooth rough surfaces and seal any holes or gaps in their hive (which allows the colony to control airflow and maintain homeostasis). This proplis has anti-microbial properties and enhances hive’s ability to fight off infection and diseases from the outside.
In herbalism, propolis is commonly used for its anti-microbial properties to promote good oral health. It is often an ingredient in ointments and creams that address cold sores (as well as sores from gential herpes). Used regularly it aids in cavity prevention, and it can also be used to address mouth and throat infections.
Propolis is also rich in anti-oxidants/polyphenols and a myriad of other organic compounds, and some research suggests its usefulness as an adjunct therapy in addressing cancer and other chronic diseases/syndromes as well as being useful in the management of chronic neurological conditions (like Parkinson's and certain types of MS).

This means that you usually have to take an herb or a formula for a longer period of time than you would with pharmaceuticals in order to get results-- usually at least a month, and often times longer than that... it all depends on the individual and the nature of the ailment being addressed.
