Whilst conversing with a local beekeeper recently, he commented on the
fact that he was going to have to bring back several lots of propolis.
It was delivered with the aim of it being sold to a third person. The
material was obtained from frame scraping and super cleaning.
50 kg. collected this winter, the same last year.

The intermediate stating that he could not find a market for the propolis.

So, is this type of material of any value - or just sticky rubbish?

So often, comments relating to propolis are heard suggesting the ease of
sale, relative rarity value, use in medical, para medical industries etc.
Then, like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - when
all is in the sack, ready and waiting for delivery - NO TAKERS.

Is this the experience of others?
Please note - the material is clean propolis, but not pure from
dedicated grids.

All the best from a Manitoba that is starting to warm up from last weeks
low of -40°C - today reaching -24° C
