BEE&YOU’s story began when Asli Samanci, a mother, scientist, and entrepreneur, started struggling with a health problem of her 5-year-old son. Her son was getting sick so frequently, was often treated with antibiotics and eventually developed an autoimmune disease due to his weakened immune system. The doctor advised Asli to give her son propolis and royal jelly to support his immune system. Knowing that many propolis products on the market were of low quality or worse adulterated, Asli went herself and got raw propolis from a beekeeper and devised a pioneering (later to be patented) way to extract propolis in her lab. After Asli gave this to her son for about six months, they saw a miraculous improvement in his health and eventually cured his autoimmune disease. Due to the incredible results experienced by her son, in 2013 Asli decided to become an entrepreneur and founded BEE&YOU to start the production of propolis as a natural immune enhancer for all the children, mothers, and families in the world who had similar problems.

 

BEE&YOU has today been granted 46 awards internationally for its innovative, award-winning, and patented extraction method and for female entrepreneurship.
