Just came back from a day of working in the bee yard on Plan Bee. [...]

It is about 100 degrees but the bees seem to love it. I digress....

As a second year beekeeper, the more I know about bees, the more I want to learn about bees. By now we have had our second honey harvest but there is MUCH more we can get from the hive. Propolis, a word supposedly coined by Aristotle meaning Pro - Before Polis - The city is another bee product.

Bees use it protect their hive and make it more environmentally friendly. I wanted to learn more about this miracle bee product that has pharmacy companies abuzz.. Just into the book a few pages but loving the style of the writer and all of the great new information. I am dropping my other reads and focusing on this one.

Hope to see you by the hive. Dave aka, The Bee Boy out!!

This book is very informative about the healing properties of propolis. I had heard a podcast interview with James Fearnley. The host was top bar hive builder and enthusiast Phil Chandler, so I knew the direction the book would take, but I wanted something to refer back to again and again. I've bought several of these books so I can share this information with other beekeepers who might regard propolis as more of a nuisance. I am fascinated with the idea that bees will collect the immunity properties of trees and flowers and 'process' this substance with their own enzymes which we can use as a sort of broad spectrum 'medicine'.
