School has started and co-workers are bringing in their kid's school germs. A cold is moving through our office and people are calling out sick. I was struck with a terrible sore throat and wanted to prevent the illness from worsening. I used this spray and it is not for the faint. Strong & Minty is exactly as it says. 2-3 sprays in my mouth; my eyes teared, hairs on my arm stood up and I was in pain for a few seconds. The spray does seem to have helped shorten the duration that my throat was inflamed and prevented a full blown cold. I plan on buying Sweet & Minty when it is available again and hopefully won't experience the same pain as with Strong & Minty. Thank you Savannah Bee!

Soar throat cleared up in hours

Soar throat cleared up in hours

I had a sore throat the day before Thanksgiving. I have excellent illness timing. I remembered I had bought this and sprayed my throat twice that day and twice on Thanksgiving. My throat pain is almost gone, and it is the day after Thanksgiving!! My daughter suffered with this same sore throat for a week, so next time, we will be prepared for her sore throats, too! The taste is slightly off-putting, but it works!! I love all of the products I buy from Savannah Bee Company!!

Like many others have said, the Propolis Throat Spray isn't the best tasting remedy you'll ever try... BUT, I bought both and decided to "chase" the throat spray with the oral mist right after and it is SO much better. There's a little bit of a strange taste but nothing like that lingering taste and texture of the throat spray alone. You still get all of the strong oral health and immunity benefits of the throat spray, just with less of the unpleasantness. Propolis really is a great natural remedy! Always want to have one in the medicine cabinet and even in your purse or car in the winter months!

I bought both the strong and the sweet sprays back in the spring and used them a few times with good results, but it wasn't until fall hit when the leaves started coming off the trees and the allergies kicked in that I started understanding the full potential of these sprays. My husband and I recently visited our son in college and I gave him my one bottle of the strong spray when he started in with an upper respiratory ailment. This spray is not a miracle cure but if I start using it at the onset of a scratchy throat it significantly reduces the symptoms. I'm ordering a new bottle today to replace the one I left with my son at college

I actually work at the plant that makes this stuff, as a Quality Assurance technician. One of the perks of my job is that we sample the products that we make for quality purposes , and this one is definitely in my top ten. It's a powerhouse anti-microbial blend, if you start getting that itchy throat feeling that leads to an impeding illness, this will most certainly help kick the germs to the curb. Combine it with an Echinacea-Goldenseal blend, add some Oregano Oil, and that illness is out the door with minimal effect.

I love the new Sweet and Minty Oral Mist! As a breath freshener it is superb---WAY healthier than whatever they're throwing in your common garden dinner mints these days, and sweet but not too sweet! I keep the original, stronger propolis spray around for when I'm fighting an infection or sore throat, but this one is great to use all day every day!

Not being a mint fan by any means I was a little hesitant to try the new Oral Mist. We grabbed one while in the store since I do like the original Strong and minty because the Propolis over powers the mint flavor to my liking. My wife how ever is a huge mint fan so she immediately tried it once out of the store. Just from the smell alone I could tell that I would like it. It is definitely not too over powering by any means and a lot less of a squinty face flavor. Since talking with the people in the store I have been using it multiple times a day. It helps keep my breath fresh while keeping my cough subsided. I highly recommend both but most certainly the sweet and minty for a newbee Propolis spray user. Three thumbs up.

This is great for everyday. I feel protected using it- with both the propolis and honey. And it's much more beneficial that a breath spray or piece of gum. I love natural remedies and I love honey!

First off, WOW! I'm not much a bee-liever when it comes to throat spays and this stuff really works! I bought the original propolis spray when it first came out and was skeptical at first. When I got my first sore throat I sure was happy when I remembered this was sitting in my medicine cabinet! After using it the first day (about 3 or 4 times) I woke up the next morning completely relieved. I no longer had that raspy sore feeling. The taste does take a few times to get used to- but hey, if it's healing my body I can put up with the unpleasant taste for 15 seconds. I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the newest propolis spray come out! I immediately went to the closest SBC on St. Simons and it was literally greeting me at the door! All of the wonderful girls there were full of useful information and smiles. Little did they know I was already familiar with the original product and ready to purchase the newbee. When I first tried the Sweet and Minty throat spray, I was pleasantly surprised! It really does have a sweet and minty taste. I now carry that in my purse everywhere I go. Whether it's to prevent a sore throat or to refresh my breath this spray is AMAZING! Thank you Savannah Bee for all of your fabulous products. Keep them coming, I can't wait to see what's next!

I've been a huge fan of the Propolis Throat spray since it came out but have always struggled with the strong and bitter taste. Although that's still my preferred choice for painful sore throats, the new sweet & minty oral mist is amazing! It tastes so good, I find myself just using it throughout the day for fun :) AND it's a great immune booster! It's the easiest and sweetest part of my daily routine. Love it!

I was happy to read the reviews---I was about to all S. Bee to see if I had gotten a "bad" bottle. I will keep trying. (I did not get the cold that was coming on, but I did have that awful taste in my mouth all night. I will try again.

I love the propolis throat spray because it really works. It does taste strange, but it really is powerful medicine. I actually sort of started to like the flavor after using it a few times. There is something about it that makes you want to use it again and again. Maybe chase it with some Tupelo honey!

I love the new Sweet and Minty spray! It works fantastic as a breath freshener, especially since I'm not a fan of gum. It tastes so good!

I purchased the Propolis Throat Spray a few months ago and used it anytime that I felt an irritation in my throat or a cold coming on. I was amazed at the results, so I had to buy the newest spray, the Oral Mist, as soon as I saw that it was available. I LOVE the NEW Sweet & Minty flavor! The new flavor is very different than the Throat Spray; it is not nearly as harsh and leaves a nice sweet taste in your mouth. The store associate informed me that the newest spray has less Propolis in it than the first, and more honey, which helps to tone down the intensity of the flavor. I'm a huge fan! And wonderful staff at the Broughton street location--incredibly informative and very helpful. Great experience!

I see lots of people wimping about the taste of the original one. It's medicine. Good medicine doesn't often taste good. You certainly get used to it the more you use it. That stuff has stopped every sore throat I have gotten in the past 6 months or so. I also like to use it as a liquid band-aid and spray it on cuts. They seem to heal way quicker than using just Neosporin. Propolis is awesome. Also, the throat spray uses BROWN propolis that the bees gather from tree sap and tree resin. Don't be alarmed if it darkens your skin if you miss your mouth. That's the normal color. It removes easily using rubbing alcohol. The oral mist uses YELLOW propolis so it is less visible if you miss your mouth and spray on your skin. The new spray is a wimp version of the real deal stuff. It tastes great but has less of a medicinal quality to it. There is no Echinacea or Umckaloabo. It is more like an antibacterial breath freshener. The original propolis throat spray still has my heart!!

I love this stuff. I've suffered from chronic bronchitis for weeks and this cleared it up within 36 hours. I use it every day after brushing my teeth and have no plans on stopping

I love the way the original Propolis Spray works but it tastes terrible. The new one is fantastic though!!!! It is sweet and minty (just like the name) and I love it.

I was skeptical that this product would live up to the glowing reviews, but it does. Like other reviewers have said - the taste is pretty strong (read: awful) but it is worth it. After spending a 9-hour car ride with my sick brother, I had a the predicted tickle in my throat and the beginnings of an illness. A couple sprays before bed and I woke up feeling normal. I used the spray a couple of times the next day and never got sick. My husband had the same results. Everyone in my family is now a believer! This is now a staple in our medicine cabinet.

The Propolis spray is the absolute best! It works so well whether or not you're sick - I even use it before singing or giving a speech because it really opens up the throat and clears my voice.

While I've not tried this product yet, I cannot wait to do so! I've recently read about the benefits of Umckaloabo and am ecstatic that your propolis spray contains this as one of the ingredients! All of the SBC products that I've tried have been fantastic, so I'm sure this is another winner. Keep on keepin' on!

I always make it a point to stop in your store when visiting Savannah (usually to stock up on honey & skin products) but on my last visit I noticed the throat spray. Last year I started with a sore throat that went into my chest & couldn't get rid of it. The Dr. was ready to put me in the hospital just before it finally cleared. Needless to say a sore throat scares me to death. I decided to at least give this a try. Since I was in Savannah in the Spring my allergy's drove me nuts & I ended up with a sore throat that seemed to be going to my chest again. I got the spray out & used it ( not the best tasting stuff I've had) however with in 1 hour my throat started to feel better, sprayed again in another hour & the sore throat was gone !!! I was amazed to say the least. Recommended this to two coworkers today & one tried mine & his throat was clear by the end of the day. both are ordering it. I will never be without it.....EVER !!!!

I bought this when visiting Savannah and my husband came down with a sore throat. After using it, the sore throat was gone in a day. Then this weekend my daughter came home for a visit and said I have a sore throat and I'm probably getting strep throat again. I had her take this immediately and by the time she left, her throat was cleared up. We were both amazed and I gave it to her to take along. I will be buying more for myself. Note: The taste is awful but it works

I bought this on a whim while in Savannah, and I love it! Instantly soothes a sore or scratchy throat, and it significantly shortened the length of my cold. Tastes horrible, but this will become a staple in our house.

I had a sore throat that I though felt like strep (It was that bad but no spots). I started using my spray and almost immediately felt much better. The taste is strong but you get used to it.

As a bee keeper I was intrigued by the use of propolis in a throat spray and decided to try the product. Though the taste can be strong it really works well for your throat and cold sores. For cold sore application use a q-tip and dip it in the bottle. Spraying directly on your tongue can be messy.

This tastes absolutely awful. Leaves an uncomfortable "fuzzy" feeling wherever the spray lands in your mouth. The words Strong and Minty on the label aren't warning enough. Hate I can't get past the taste to see if it really helps.

I haven't used this for my throat bought it because I am prone to cold sores. I used it and it helped alot.

Once you get past the nasty lingering taste. Certainly worth it, and would buy again but the taste is tough.

If you can get past the gosh awful taste this stuff really does work! Lasts a long time to "numb" the pain from sore throats and seems to heal them faster. Be warned though that the taste is not for the weak. If they can fix that this product would get a millon stars!
