Details of Flexible plastic Propolis Trap

Scraping propolis off the frames and hive walls drags along wax, bits of wood and flakes of paint that then have to be picked out piece by piece. This plastic trap makes the most of the bees' instinct to seal any small gap, so they lay the propolis down on a clean surface, without the effort or the mess of scraping with a hive tool.

⚙️ The bees propolise it on their own

The perforations of under 4 mm are too narrow for a worker to pass through, so the colony treats them as a gap to close up and fills them with propolis of its own accord. You fit the trap and let the bees get on with it: there is nothing to do until it is time to lift it out.

🧹 A cleaner harvest than scraping

Because it settles on the plastic rather than on painted or varnished wood, the propolis comes off with less wax, wood and paint residue than the kind gathered with a hive tool. It is a physical separation that improves the cleanliness of the gathered material; it does not replace a batch analysis nor guarantee the absence of residues.

🏗️ Fitting and removal

It sits under the crown board, over the top bars of the frames. Once it is well propolised, lift it out and put it in the freezer for at least an hour: in the cold the propolis turns brittle and lifts away with a gentle scrape or by folding the trap.
