Hi,
I have some old frames with old comb that may be 4-7 years old, it was in use up until last year. There is a lot of propolis glued all over the frames as well.
My two questions:
Does propolis lose it's potency (in terms of making holistic tinctures or just eating bits of it) after a certain time- does anyone know?
And has anyone ever tested propolis for possible pesticide accumulation the way they've been testing the wax in hives?
Any insights into this would be kindly appreciated.
