I can't speak for anyone else, but that was not my experience, in fact I
was always amazed at how little propolis they used. They "glued" and
"filled"as much as any other hive, but it was mostly wax with only a
"tad" of propolis.
I suggest that one of the biggest influences on propolis collection is
whether the beekeeper has got his beespace right.
