Hi H. Sweet:  (a first name would be nice, we're fairly informal :) )
 
Do you have an address for this company?  I thought that hive scrapings were
unacceptable for propolis sale.  I wonder what method they use to separate
the propolis.  I have been keeping my cover scrapings and any big lumps of
pure propolis separate as I find it a wonderful cure for sore throat.  The
beekeeper from Surinam who visited me used propolis mats under his covers
and sold propolis to a Dutch pharmaceutical company for $15 a pound.  Their
beekeeper's coop also makes a tincture of propolis (15%) that they market
locally.
