How is propolis produced?
Do the bees have to suffer for this?
So is it stolen from them or is the propolis only collected when the bees are already dead.

Propolis is a natural antibiotic that bees use to protect their home from bacteria, viruses and fungi.
The welfare of the little wonders is very important to me; without bees, one third of all plants would no longer exist, including rice, strawberries, apples, etc.

For specific collection of Propolis, a grid with narrow ridges is used, which is placed in the prey. The bees cemented the ridges with Propolis and then remove the grid and scrape the resin.

Will the propolis be produced faster than the honey 🍯?
The honey is a plant nectar that is laboriously collected. Propolis is sweated out by bees 🐝continuously and from it the honeycombs are built right?
No, that’s wrong. Bees sweat wax, as far as right. They build their honeycombs.
Propolis, however, is the so-called cement resin. For this, the bees collect tree resin and work around.
It is, of course, used in the beehive to seal leaks and cracks.
Very fascinating 🙂

The beekeeper has to scrape off the propolis, because the bees have all to do with it. They stick the claws and the magazines together. So that the beekeeper can see through the stick, he must release the glued areas from each other and just scrape off what sticks.
As already mentioned, Propolis is produced from tree resins. The bees collect the resin, mix it, and then lubricate it into the ridges.
What would happen if the beekeeper doesn’t scrape anything – tear the bees away their propolis, eat bad?
And
Does the propolis stick to the bee body or is the propolis itself produced by the bee?
Waste material is not, just like everything else, the propolis also has meaning and purpose in the bee colony. It is, however, inevitable, because the bees therefore just stick the ridges and the beekeeper can then scratch it off.
But otherwise everything fits;-)
Propolis or bee resin is composed of tree resins, pollen, gland secretions and digestive juices of honey bees.
Accordingly, the bees always have enough of it and you could see it as a waste of honey bees 🐝.
I gather Propolis is not a feed for the bees and also not the actual honeycomb structure in which the honey is laboriously stored by the honey bee 🍯 but by-product of the bee which is used only for sealing.
Are you all right?

Probably it behaves as with honey – it is taken away from them against their will. But it works. I haven’t had an infect for years.
Honey contains many vitamins and minerals that are essential for bees, especially the Royal Gelee for the larvae and Queen is extremely nutrient-rich.
Most Conventional bees leave the bees nothing left of their hard-produced honey and feed city food cheap sugar juice that leaves the bees only sick.
Just like honey, only the excess propolis is harvested. Smallest cats are cemented by the bees and here it makes no sense to harvest the little bit for the beekeeper idR.
With the above-mentioned conditions for propolis harvest, the beekeeper basically creates additional artificial ridges which are then closed by the bees with propolis. After the harvest, or in winter, the coats are then removed again, i.e. the peoples have no disadvantage of the harvest except for the additional harvest.
Propolis is a great natural substance (https://www.honigmeisterei.de/ueber-propolis), which offers many applications.
They don’t suffer. It can be harvested regularly.
A true miracle remedy 👍
Propolis consists predominantly of tree resins, which feed the bees and mix them with wax and pollen oils to seal their stick, make the honeycombs more durable and disinfect their stick. The attitude of the bees is inevitable. Depending on the people you can harvest some grams a year. It doesn’t harm the bee colony if you take excess propolis from the people.
Good to know ðŸTM‚ that the bees are good .
Does organic agriculture also only harvest the surplus they market?
What would happen if you took the bees her whole propolis – would they not stop producing honey too?
How long does it take for the bees people to have their hive completely sealed from below to top and what happens then – do they listen to producing propolis or disposing it?
Most propolis is so thinly distributed on the honeycombs and the inside of their dwelling that you cannot harvest it. Only between the honeycombs they place thicker layers to prevent something from shaking. Joints and columns above 4 mm are added with wax and glued under 4 mm with Propolis.
If something is taken, it is refilled by the bees. Since it is only a few grams that can be harvested per year and people, it does not affect the bees. They therefore produce no less honey.
The bees don’t happen. It is a “bee cement resin” which the beekeeper collects.
Yes, but the bees need the resin themselves to protect themselves from bacteria and viruses.
Or, in other words, is the propolis resin re-produced by bees – it is only a by-product of the survival of important honey of bees and is not itself consumed by bees or ?
Also I can assure you as a beekeeper, the bees don’t have to suffer!
