This soft flexible propolis collection screen
Propolis is becoming a sought after product and commands a good price.
How to collect Propolis? Propolis is easily gathered by applying one of our simple screens to your hive. Place the screen mesh in the hive and leave for the bees to propolise. The Propolis can then be removed from the screens much easier if you place the screen in the freezer for 5 minutes and then scrape the propolis off with a spatula.
The screen can collect 60 to 80gr when full within 10-15 days.
Usually applied in the Spring and Autumn and in a good year you could hope to harvest around 400g per hive in a single season. Total amount of propolis harvested will be influenced by many factors including weather, available forage, strength of colony and so forth.
