A propolis collector is a beekeeping tool used to gather propolis, a sticky resin bees use to seal hive cracks and protect against bacteria. It is typically a plastic or mesh mat placed on top of the hive frames, replacing the inner cover. The bees fill the small openings with propolis to block airflow and intruders. Once full, the collector is removed and frozen; the hardened propolis can then be easily broken off. This method provides a clean and efficient way to harvest high-quality propolis without damaging the hive or disturbing the bees, and it’s reusable season after season.

Description

The Propolis Collector is a practical beekeeping tool designed to harvest propolis—an antimicrobial resin bees produce to seal and protect their hive. Typically made from flexible plastic or mesh-like materials, the collector is placed on top of the hive frames, simulating small cracks that encourage bees to fill the gaps with propolis. Once full, the sheet is removed and frozen, making the hardened propolis easy to break off. This method allows clean, efficient collection without disturbing the colony. Lightweight, reusable, and easy to clean, the propolis collector is ideal for beekeepers interested in harvesting this valuable, health-promoting substance.
