>>>    bees also produce other useful substances, such as propolis. This is a yellow, waxy resin bees use to seal the cells in their hive. 

Propolis to cap cells??   Really??  Was going through old posts that I hadn't read and came across this.   Don't bees use regular wax to seal cells on comb?   As far as I know, nobody here on the list picked up on this.  Am I wrong in my ideas of how bees cap comb?
