Propolis debris
« on: November 12, 2006, 08:55:37 pm »
Advice on how to get the "junk" out of small amounts of propolis.  I have been cleaning my q. excluders and a few other hive parts, saving the propolis of course.  Any tips on how to get the propolis separated from the little pieces of wax and stuff?  I haven't delved into this area yet and am rather stumped.  I did put the material into warm water and the heavier (probably more clean) propolis did sink, but there is still lots of it mixed in with wax floating, and I am sure that some that has sunk had some foreign particles in it too. 
There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold.  The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold.  The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee.  Robert Service

As any cook can tell you any foreign particle is seasoning.  LOL  :)
