Any suggestions on the best way to clean propolis scraped off the frames. Pity to waste it just because it has bee legs in it.

I've been interested in this too.

Yeah... bee legs, wood shavings, and what have you. I'm going to experiment with a solar melter- it can't be much different than processing wax, can it?

Or... do the purchasers of raw propolis care about bee legs and stuff in it? Maybe cleaning propolis is an unnecessary step- depending on what you intend to do with it.

I posted the same question in the bee forum and got a great answer from Hill's Hivery with a link to a site that will answer all your questions.
