Propolis Question?

[blanc]

Did a cutout yesterday and the propolis that sealed the edges of wood seams looked fairly normal but at the entrance base of the hive the were round 1/4 to 3/8 waxy little mounds scattered about and dark in color. Is that propolis also disinfecting the entrance of the hive? Hive is probably 6 plus years according to the family.

The little mounds on the bottom boards are propolis, I call them ladders to help the bees get up to the bottom bars of the frames.

Thanks for the shout out G3 and started making some tincture with some of the propolis I harvested. Did not realize how healthy it is for ya.  :)

How do you use your tincture?

I made mine with EverClear AKA white lighting. The legal kind. Saw couple recipes on the internet and processed mine in a Vitamix blender and used had a lot of wax to clean up afterward in my blender. Take a few drops three times a day and a healthier you!  :-D
