I put on a few propolis sheets on today - mainly for an experiment. It's probably better in a few months time once we come into Autumn (Ireland). I really didn't know that it fetched such a great price. Thanks for your vid and inspiration

Hi Trev. Thanks again for another great video. In the video, not only have you shown how to do it, you've explained why it's important to do it. It's so good that you do videos about the very basic things that need to be done, and not just about the more impressive looking side of beekeeping.

I'm in the UK, and a lot of people who know I keep bees, say to myself and my partner Heather, how they would like to have a go at bee keeping themselves. They ask if there's a recommended book, we just tell them; go on line, go on you tube, put in Trevs Bees, and you'll find everything from the basics of getting started, to the advanced. - Oh and we tell them, most important, don't forget to subscribe.

Sir, could you please write down all the tools you just used in this video? Thank you.

You do a very thorough job sir. How are you separating the propolis from the bits of wax In the ice cream container?

Hello Trevor, just wondered how you clean the propolis in the Paradise EPS hives, apart from with great care! I appreciate it is possible to scrape the yellow plastic frame supports with a screwdriver, or similar, but is the inability to effectively clean propolis from the rest of the box a potential disadvantage with the Paradise hive? Regards, Chris

Hi Trev,
Just wandering who you supply your propolis to?

Thanks

Trev, what is the sheet of material you are working on? I think you said flat iron...not sure what I would ask for here in Canada in terms of material, gauge, etc.

Hi chris what is propolis and what is used for?

[howardtoob]

Any idea how long it takes to fill up one of those ice cream boxes? I am thinking you will be making about $.03 per hour ???
I am sure you know your business so it is worth the effort I'm sure but it sure looks extremely time consuming.
