Ordered mine last week, need a load of propolis for a mentee who's daughter has a severe skin condition, this video has come out at the right time, thanks Lawrence
Did it help your friends skin condition? If so, how did they apply / use the propolis? I have a friend who has had a terrible skin condition for 2 years now & nothing has helped.
Think I will give this a go. It will be interesting to see the different types of propolis from different apiary locations. Did the rest of that hive have noticeably less propolis sticking up the rest of the frames & boxes?
Hello Laurence. Great content & great presentation! So the screen you are using is plastic? Similar to window screen? I could not make out the size of the holes.....thanks
And... did you put it on scale? How many grams form one hive? I enjoy every of your video... Hope to see more interesting things this season 2022... TNX
I've just got one from Maisemore and it included 4 strips of wooden spacers, these are supposed to introduce a draft into the hive which encourages the bees to want to stop up the holes where they can feel it coming through. Have you tried that at all?

Thanks Laurence, never seen that done before! Must give it a try.
Definitely worth a try. Makes lovely propolis. So clean!
Really interesting, thanks Laurence.
Cheers Simon 😀
Thanks!
Really interesting that Laurence thanks, I've only ever harvested from frames
For £3 it makes the purest propolis perfectly possible.
@@BlackMountainHoney Great idea!
That was really interesting, thoroughly enjoyed that video, haven't seen anything like that before!!
Thanks Melanie. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video man thanks as always for sharing :D
Thanks BHB! :D
Thats so cool!!
Thanks 😊
Another great video 👌🏻
Really interesting
It's cool isnt it. I am going to trap a fair bit this year :D
Hello, I am a beekeeper, where can I sell this propolis wholesale and how much?
Think I will give this a go. It will be interesting to see the different types of propolis from different apiary locations. Did the rest of that hive have noticeably less propolis sticking up the rest of the frames & boxes?
No. This hive has always been a propolis monster. They cover everything in it!
Good idea for different locations. Will be interesting to see :)
That’s very interesting. It looks like they were busy. What do you do with the propolis? I’m sure it’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.
what about using galvanised steel mesh for a propolis trap?
Your propolis trap looks like it is fiberglass window screen material.
Hello Laurence. Great content & great presentation! So the screen you are using is plastic? Similar to window screen? I could not make out the size of the holes.....thanks
Thanks Alexey. Yes - its a plain plastic mesh. the squares are circa 2mm x 2mm
Thanks for the video. For how long do you keep the trap? Does it vary according to the season or always the same?
Will last forever it seems. Only stays in for a couple of weeks. Depends more on the colony. Some are great at collecting, others not so much
Interesting video, thanks Lawrence can I ask what you do with the propolis once harvested?
Put it in a jar and left it in a cupboard! :)
Going to make some tincture ;)
And... did you put it on scale? How many grams form one hive?
I enjoy every of your video... Hope to see more interesting things this season 2022...

I didnt weigh it but it was a decent amount :D
@@BlackMountainHoney TNX for reply... I do the same job on YT, but on bosnian language...
How long one can store the propolis?
I'd say indefinitely
سؤال رائع شكرا

Is this something you can harvest constantly w/o harming them or do you need to leave them have some of it too like with pollen traps?
Thanks
Aaron
How much did you get from one screen?
Thanku for a grrat video. What is the material of this trap ?
Wonder how i can do this in top bar hives.
Where did you purchase the propolis screens ?
what if i don't have a freezer
Dear sir!
I have some raw propolish
How to eat this ?
