I now have 9 hives, 2 at separate locations in town and 7 in the country. I notice that the propolis of the town hives is lighter (grey) and a lot more "stringy", like when you step on bubble gum, and the country hives' propolis is a lot darker and harder. Has anyone else noticed this? God Bless, Kelley Rosenlund ([log in to unmask]) Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A.
