Compound From Bees Called Propolis Has Anti-inflammatory Effects
Chemical, caffeic acid, in the substance that honey bees collect called propolis has been shown to have health benefits by inhibiting an inflammatory pathway that initiates inflammatory immune complexes. Generally, propolis has been used in traditional or folk medicine for a variety of ailments. Caffeic acid, according to Wipedia, it a exceptional antioxidant but as another source says quantities of compounds in propolis may differ according to time of year, one must take care when "extrapolating" health benefits.

Caffeic Acid in Bee Hive Propolis and Melatonin Show Benefits on Aging Brain Cells.
Background: At normal levels, numerous studies have shown that caffeic acid which is an antioxidant helps prevent acute immune and inflammatory responses and in found in honey bee hive propolis. (Wipedia)
