>Has anyone determined if the supposedly slight color change was due to absorpotion of
propolis?
Propolis, cocoons, and other material that accumulate in brood combs all cause a measurable but
slight darkening of honey according to Coggshall and Morse.
As mentioned earlier I’ve personally not noticed a difference, but I simply base that on what I’ve
seen when uncapping frames. Samples of honey from old and new combs weren’t taken and
tested.
