Max,
 
I have no idea how to process propolis (does anyone out there know?) but
you might be able to sell it.
 
If you look in the back of your November issue of "Bee Craft", you will
find an advertisement from a company called "Bee Well Products Ltd" who
want to buy propolis scrapings. If you decide to sell it, give them a
call.
 
The address is:         Bee Well Products Ltd.,
                        Laurel Cottage Apiaries,
                        Chesterfield,
                        S42 6QQ
 
                        Tel. (01246) 220130
                        Fax. (01246) 208810
 
 
I have never had any dealings with them so I cannot comment on what they
might offer you.
 
I hope that this helps.
