You girls are awesome teachers, this new beekeeper appreciates U" all very much, and be blessed with goodness.

[@noraluzcalugas2731]

Propolis, antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial 😊Very Effective, that's how i recovered from Pneumonia!

[@kimcollins3992]

Can I ask you How you treated your pneumonia with propolis? How much and how many times per day?

[@MikeChamplin]

Save that clump of leftover propolis in the jar when you're done making your tincture. I add just a bit of alcohol to it and make a nice paste. Perfect for dabbing on bee stings and no itch, swelling or pain. But it will stain everything - even your skin.

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

Nice!

[@deanablythe9394]

I have been purchasing Bee Propolis to add to my smoothies for many years now, I thank you for showing that I can also make a Tincture with it, much appreciated.

[@TheConsummateArtist]

You put it in smoothies? How much? It has such a strong smell...

We've been making propolis tincture as well. I make a 30% propolis tincture and have used it for ingrown toenail, cuts, etc. My wife was on blood thinners and cut herself. She put the tincture on and it immediately sealed the cut and she said it also stopped hurting. Had an ingrown toenail that nothing was working on..... put propolis tincture on and it was better after the 2nd day. It's great stuff! Thanks for sharing

[@TheHoneystead]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@carfro8ify]

Probably sound dumb but I'll ask anyway, just trying to learn here. What is 30% ? What does that mean? Thank you

[@TexasBeekeeper]

@carfro8ify hello. Not a dumb question at all. That just means that the tincture is 30% propolis and 70% grain alcohol.

[@sheri4673]

@@TheHoneystead Can you advise on how to purchase propolis products (for oral health, topical and systemic use) so that I know I'm getting very good quality?

Hi Kaylee. I’m just starting a beekeeping class and recently learned that some species of honeybees make more propolis than other species. Do you keep certain species for this purpose? I’m starting with just 2 hives but I’m very interested in harvesting propolis to create products 🐝

If you have propolis with possible wood chips in it, would you shake it out before combining it with the alcohol?

I chew on a little of it with wax untell I get tired of it sticking to my teeth then swallow it down. Ty for sharing.

[@TheHoneystead]

Lol I do that too, this is easier for sure!

[@justindavyduke4182]

I am getting in beekeeping in a big way currently. I am also excited to harvesting propolis, pollen, honey, wax, and venom to use personally. However I am also aware of the varrora mite and the treatments required. What do you use to combat this mite. Almost all treatments do settle into honey, wax, pollen, propolis. So with that said how are you ensuring that you are not taking the chemicals used to treat the mite.

[@CastleHives]

I really need to do this. Have some frames that need cleaned, so what better time to start you know. Appreciate you sharing this.

[@jessicamarvin2071]

Does the alcohol burn when you put it on cuts, scrapes?

[@stopit4uca]

It's good to know cause I thought the alcohol would kill all the good bacteria and Antifungal as well Antiseptic properties. As I always thought, alcohol was just a great process for extracting oils from other types of organics such as herbs and plants. As I was interested in learning more about bee bread Which was consumed by spartans I came across another one of your videos.

[@yardekan9072]

I am one of beekeeper, and In my Hometown Lombok Indonesia there were many people who as beekeeper.. and Have so much propolis but we don't know how to make better liquid propolis.. The bee that we care for is kinds of bee Trigona

Where to get the label you used on the tinctured propulis?

[@johnvanderslice7966]

The alcohol doesn't kill the good stuff in the propolis that gives it its healing properties?

[@TheSNOTTBALL]

Do you have to remove all of the wax before making the tincture?

[@FortCasimirhoney]

Mom would be my favorite bartender! 🙂 We chatted briefly last year about doing a non-alcoholic tincture since I have been sober for 13 years. Have you been able to find out any options? I know water can be used but I don't know how exactly. Great channel - very helpful!

[@IndiBex86]

I read that you can use glycerine but it takes a full year of sitting to extract the qualities.

Research this first, But I recently read that I think you can cook the alcohol out if you heated up. Again, research this first
