Honey bees collect the main material of propolis from buds, leaves, branches, and barks or other botanical sources mixed that resinous with beeswax produced abdominal exocrine glands, mandibular gland secretions, pollen to produce propolis. The composition changes depends on multiple factors such as honey bee races, geographical locations, phytogeography, harvesting seasons, extraction methods ...

There are many historical factors that influence the distribution of taxa, ranging from the movements of the tectonic plates which cause significant changes in the terrain and climate of many ancient habitats, to Pleistocene climatic changes which contributed to recent plant diversification. In addition, habitat characteristics, such as hydrology, topography and soil types, as well as ecologica...

The Atacama and Peruvian Deserts form a continuous belt for more than 3500 km along the western escarpment of the Andes from northern Peru to northernmost Chile. These arid environments are due to a climatic regime dominated by the cool, north-flowing Humboldt (Peruvian) Current.
