How do you use a propolis mat on your beehive?
Installed like queen excluders, the propolis mat is designed so that bees will deposit propolis from underneath, through the wedge shaped slits. As the lid does not permit the bees entry to the space above the mat, the propolis is free from contamination by hive components and excess wax. Raw propolis is harvested by scraping the mats. (Or place mats in the freezer for a few days to make it easier to remove, by banging the mat on a sheet of newspaper on a firm surface). Research shows that propolis offers antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-fungal, and even antiviral properties. The raw product undergoes secondary processing to remove beeswax and other impurities before being used in a variety of natural health care products (eg., lozenges, tinctures, ointments, toothpaste).
