you could dissolve it in everclear (100% grain alcohol) and strain it to get rid of foreign matter and sell it as a "tincture" the darker the color the more potent of a concentration...good luck!
Cleaning propolis to sell
You can melt comb and strain it through paper towels, cloth, etc. and come out with beautiful wax.
But how do you clean up propolis?
I stopped collecting it a while back and I have started back again. I clean it off my boxes and frames. Starting to get a decent amount. When you scrape it off you get bits of wood and paint.
I was thinking about heating it up some as it becomes very soft as it gets warmer and then find a way to filter out the foreign materials. But the propolis may have to get hot enough that the paint melts too.
I have 4 propolis traps I need to put on a few of my hives that love to make propolis. Keep them busy during the dearth.
