Propolis appears to be dark as text unanimously above, except for my area propolis.
I live in hard wood country, Ozark Hills, Not a pine tree in sight, mostly oaks. White oak, red oak, black walnut, dog wood, redbud and sassafras [rootbeer] everywhere with a few maple and ash. All my propolis is brown as in pic. Some propolis, in my hives, is semitransparent light brown that is hard as a rock.
