Bees collect pollen from flowers as a food source for their colonies. They mix the pollen with saliva and nectar to form pellets, which they store in their hives as bee bread or bee pollen.

Beehive Disinfectant: In addition to sealing cracks, bees use propolis to line the interior of their hives, creating a protective barrier against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This helps maintain hive hygiene and protect the health of the colony.
