Tetragonisca angustula flora availability. "T. angustula" honey contains more moisture than honey from typical honey bees and is also more acidic, giving it a complex flavor. Honey and propolis, a glue like substance that bees use as sealant, collected by "T. angustula" have some health benefits for humans. The honey and propolis contain various chemicals that show antibacterial activity towards an infection causing bacteria, "Staphylococcus aureus". Honey and propolis gathered from different geographical areas have different chemical compositions yet they all exhibit some type of antibacterial activity. Another bee, "Apis mellifera", produces honey and propolis with very similar qualities. Forests are being
Fibrin glue Fibrin glue Fibrin glue (also called fibrin sealant) is a surgical formulation used to create a fibrin clot for hemostasis or wound healing. It is made up of fibrinogen (lyophilised pooled human concentrate) and thrombin (bovine, which is reconstituted with calcium chloride) that are applied to a site of tissue damage to glue them together. Thrombin is an enzyme and converts fibrinogen into fibrin monomers between 10 and 60 seconds giving rise to a three-dimensional gel. Factors that influence dimensional structure of fibrin gel giving rise to fine or coarse gel: Formulations from different manufacturers may also contain aprotinin, fibronectin
