Apimaye Propolis Trap 10F - HD Silicone
The 10-Frame Apimaye Propolis Trap is an excellent way to harvest clean propolis from your hive and add extra income. Replace your inner cover with our plastic propolis trap. The bees will fill the grooves of the trap with propolis.
To remove simply put the trap inside a plastic bag and freeze overnight. Being made of silicone they an be rolled up to fit into your freezer. Once frozen, twist or bang the trap inside the bag against a flat surface to release the propolis.
The Apimaye Propolis Trap is made from quality food-grade silicone (just like kitchen cup cake molds), which make them superior to mats made of poylethylene (PE) or polypropylene PP), so they will not become brittle with age and easily hold their shape for many years.
Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees produce from saliva, beeswax and the exude of tree buds, sap flows and other botanical sources.
It is used by honey bees as both a sterilising agent and a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. The medicinal properties of propolis have been known to humans since ancient times (ca BC3000). Modern research has shown that propolis is an effective antimicrobial that may also be useful in the treatment of skin cancers.
Contemporary propolis products include ingestible capsules, tinctures, lozenges, toothpaste and soap.
