"Propolis to cap cells?? Really?? Don't bees use regular wax to
seal cells
on comb? As far as I know, nobody here on the list picked up on this.
Am I
wrong in my ideas of how bees cap comb?"
Fresh cappings are lighter than older ones so I suspect that the
coloured residue is more likely to be faecal matter than propolis.
