I think it must have been Gladstone who told me that a simple way of 
obtaining a crop of propolis is to remove one of the bars.  The bees 
soon build a screen to close the gap.  Weather, wasps etc would make 
that inadvisable here in the UK but I sometimes remove one bar and ease 
the others apart slightly, but not by enough for a bee to get through.  
Then, a visit or two later, I can apply a hive tool to get a harvest of 
propolis.
