Dear Bee-Listers,
I was very pleased to read all the posts and see all the recent interest in
propolis, as that is a subject dear to my heart. About a year ago, for
those of you who have joined since then, I posted a series of three posts
about propolis. Over the last year I have learned a great deal more about
propolis.
Recently (Nov. 7-9), at the annual convention of the Texas Beekeeping
Association, I gave a clinic on propolis. I produced a thirteen page
handout on the subject and it does include answers to all of the questions I
have seen posed on this list. There is too much information to include in a
post, but I can send anyone a copy. The topics include What Is Propolis,
Why Propolis, Propolis: More Than "Bee Boogers", How To Trap Propolis, How
To Process Propolis, The Propolis Market, and Propolis Recipes (which
includes tincture, extract and salve recipes).
The handout cost me $1.00 each to produce and there would be postage, in the
amount of $0.55, to send it, so I would appreciate a donation of $1.55, if
you want the handout. If you are interested, e-mail me at my e-mail address
and I will e-mail my snail-mail address.
If I can be of assistance to answer any questions, I am at everyone's disposal.
Cheers,
Mike Wallace
