Title: Bee robbing propolis.

I caught a little video of a bee stealing propolis from a hive body I took out of storage. The video isn't great, Ned she took off shortly after I started filming.
She would chew off a small piece and use her fore legs to swipe it back to her pollen sacs. She had quite a pile built up.
