Bees knows how to collect good propolis (video made in Romania on October 22, 2014)
We made this video, together with other videos, at the Apiary of Mr. Moldovan, at Sanpetru (a small but important village near Brasov, Romania). In the video you can see how the bees are collecting already made propolis from a beehive part: 1) it pulls with the mandibles small parts of dry propolis; 2) it humidify it with her saliva; 3) it moves, extremely fast, with the help of the middle pair of legs, the humidified propolis onto the “pollen” basket, at the third pair of legs. It is a very hard work that reminds us that we must respect and not exploit the bees…
