BEE PROPOLIS THROAT SPRAY
Don’t let runny noses and scratchy throats slow your little ones down. With antioxidant-rich buckwheat honey and propolis, this gentle, kid-friendly duo is naturally tough on germs, but also super soothing on scratchy throats.
Active kids need all the help they can get. But finding natural immune support that actually works for your bumblers can be a challenge, so BEEKEEPER'S NATURALS took their original Propolis Spray and reformulated it especially for kids.
Straight from the hive, propolis is already a powerful supporter of immunity in its own right. (It is actually used to protect baby bees from germs in the hive nursery!) But BKN wanted to make an extra gentle kids immune formula that really nourishes our little ones, so they added in nutrient-dense buckwheat honey. Soothing on tender scratchy throats, buckwheat honey delivers an especially hefty dose of beneficial antioxidants to support healthy healing.
And that’s it. All natural, super simple Mom-approved ingredients that actually work. Here’s to saving a ton of money on tissues!
To support a strong, healthy immune system in children 2-12 years, BKN recommends 4 sprays (0.5 mL) 2 times per day.
Ingredients:
Bee propolis extract, buckwheat honey, non-GMO vegetable glycerin and purified water.
Propolis + Vitamin C Liposomal
Our liposomal delivery system encapsulates 100mg of propolis and 1,000mg of Vitamin C in a protective phospholipid layer, which naturally mimics the body’s own cell membranes. The result is more efficient absorption and maximum usability, delivering support for the immune system and skin health.
Recommended Dose
Adults (18 years or older): Once daily, squeeze directly into mouth or pour into cold beverage. For best results, avoid hot beverages or a blender, as this could damage the liposomes. Consult a health care practitioner/health care provider/health care professional.

Folklore and History
Over the centuries, elderberry has been used to treat colds, flu, fever, burns, cuts, and more than 70 other maladies, from toothache to the plague. In the 17th century, John Evelyn, a British researcher, declared, “If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark, and berries were fully known, I cannot tell what our countryman could ail for which he might not fetch a remedy (from the elderberry), either for sickness or wounds.”
Elder is sacred to many goddess traditions, especially those dedicated to the goddesses Venus and Holle. Pagan tradition holds that the spirit which inhabits the Elder tree is the Elder Mother who holds the power to work her magic in this world. It was said that one who falls asleep under the branches of the Elder Tree would have vivid dreams of faery realms and be transported to Celtic faery lands. Source – Indigo Herbs
How Are Elderberries Used?
Elderberries (Sambucus) have been a folk remedy for centuries in North America, Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, hence the medicinal benefits of elderberries are being investigated and rediscovered. Elderberries are used for their high antioxidant levels, to lower cholesterol, to improve vision and to boost the immune system.
