I've noticed over the last 2 years that one of my colonies produces a  
greyish, very light colored propolis throughout the supers.  The color is  unlike 
any other hives in the same location or propolis I've ever seen  in hives 
elsewhere.  Other hives in the same yard produce a brownish to  reddish propolis.   
Anyone know if bees have fidelity to propolis  collection or if it may be a 
function of bee race/genetics.
