Have you ever touched the leaf buds of the "Horse Chestnut"just as they 
are bursting?  - they are resinous.
Poplar buds exhibit the same sticky touch on the protective covering as 
the start to be pushed apart from growth that takes place when the 
leaves grow in spring.

Propolis "collection" and use in the fall - bees are seen to seal as 
many cracks etc. in their colony container - are they just using 
propolis that has been stored?
