Woman entrepreneur and Food Scientist Dr. Asli Samanci needed to find a solution to her son's weakened immune system. A pediatrician recommended that she try giving him propolis. She started producing propolis for the first time for her son, subsequently developed a patented propolis extraction method, and in 2013 started a business which is now a well-known global natural supplement and skincare brand: BEE&YOU.
