Propolis, antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial 😊Very Effective, that's how i recovered from Pneumonia!
Can I ask you How you treated your pneumonia with propolis? How much and how many times per day?
Save that clump of leftover propolis in the jar when you're done making your tincture. I add just a bit of alcohol to it and make a nice paste. Perfect for dabbing on bee stings and no itch, swelling or pain. But it will stain everything - even your skin.
Nice!
We've been making propolis tincture as well. I make a 30% propolis tincture and have used it for ingrown toenail, cuts, etc. My wife was on blood thinners and cut herself. She put the tincture on and it immediately sealed the cut and she said it also stopped hurting. Had an ingrown toenail that nothing was working on..... put propolis tincture on and it was better after the 2nd day. It's great stuff! Thanks for sharing
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Probably sound dumb but I'll ask anyway, just trying to learn here. What is 30% ? What does that mean? Thank you
@carfro8ify hello. Not a dumb question at all.
That just means that the tincture is 30% propolis and 70% grain alcohol.
@@TheHoneystead Can you advise on how to purchase propolis products (for oral health, topical and systemic use) so that I know I'm getting very good quality? I can't seem to find any sources and don't know how to evaluate what makes for a good quality product. Thank you for anything you can suggest,
You girls are awesome teachers, this new beekeeper appreciates U" all very much, and be blessed with goodness.
I have been purchasing Bee Propolis to add to my smoothies for many years now, I thank you for showing that I can also make a Tincture with it, much appreciated.
You put it in smoothies? How much? It has such a strong smell...
@@TheConsummateArtist A tablespoon at a time or maybe less if you want to, I haven’t noticed tasting it amongst all my other flavours
Having hives is like sitting on a gold mine! I drop the tincture at the back of my throat and chase it with honey 🍯 Using propolis daily has improved my stomach issues and I just feel better overall 😊 Thanks ladies!
Isn’t it!?!? I love all the things we can do with what our tiny friends create 🐝🐝
So good to know about helping stomach issues!!! Thanks!!
@@tamararobinson2069 I can’t scientifically explain why, I just know that I don’t have as many flare ups and they’re not as bad as they were before I started using propolis!
I love that Brigitte measures heavy and Kaylee spills the exact amount over. You two are a great team.
Hahaha 🤦🏽♀️ hey it works lol

OakHollowGarage…yes the are a good mother and daughter duo. I enjoy watching them but It does make me wish I still had my mom and we were as close as you two seem.
My mom would have loved watching your show.
This seems a much better way to use propolis than what I usually do. Which is to track it across the kitchen floor on my shoes and my wife yells at me! 😂🤣
Haha
Bee glue is the only glue that's good to sniff. I got my first propolis harvest this year, I was actually as happy about it as getting my first honey.
Hahaha very true!! Yay for your harvest!
What do you do with the leftover propolis after strained? Thank you both for sharing!!! I am learning so much !!
I have been saving my propolis, knowing the value, but not sure exactly what I was going to do with it. Thanks for the tutorial - this is very helpful information.
This makes me so happy!!
I love this dynamic of you and your mom. I feel like I get your personality so much more now that I've seen you together, and I enjoy you a lot more now. Go girls! I also work alongside my mom, it's a wonderful life.
I have collected every bit of propolis I can in the last 3 years and roll it into balls and keep it in a air proof container. I absolutely love the smell and now I know what I can make with some of it. Thanks for all your videos.
I would love to buy some . Would you sell some ?
@@christinecaudill6050 sure, I think I have enough to spare some.
How can you melt that propolis do you know? I need without alcohol to mix it to honey?

You are so blessed! To have someone to teach work with!😊
Yes! Thank you so much! I am hoping to make this happen with the local beekeeper in my town! Yay!
I've been meaning to harvest propolis to make tinctures with. I have a couple of colonies that love making propolis.
Luv that you take care of bee's 🤎👍
New to your channel! Your family is amazing, and your Mom is a riot!!!
What an awesome duo. It looks like so much fun when you two are working together and sharing your knowledge. Thank you for sharing. We are learning as much as we can about beekeeping and are going to set up a hive in the spring. Love all your videos. I'm learning so much!
Hi ladies, I'm more of a silent observer but just wanted to pop in and say Thank You for all your lovely videos and info!! hugs from Luxembourg xxx Kerry
Love to watch you guys, so much valuable information!!
I’m always learning something new! I hadn’t heard of propolis before.
This is the very very video I have been most looking for . THANK YOU .!!!
Awesome Vlog!!!! 🌟 Thank You!!
Thank you for sharing this info! Loved it!
💚 I've known that propolis is very valuable and full of health benefits, but I didn't really know how the bees gathered and used it, so cool to learn this! Thanks Ladies! 💚
Cannot wait to make some! I’ve been saving for a while now.
I use canvas inner covers and soak them in alcohol to make the tincture . I also use the Tincture to coat plastic foundation instead of wax , it's easy and the bees love it.🙂
thanks for the video and information.have a great week.
Wow just found yall and I love the things you do. Thanks for the information.
I have one specific hive that seems to be into making propolis than they are honey. My daughter wants to start making tinctures. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Ohh how awesome!!
So going to try this tincture as we have 4 hives and love to try something new
Awesome!!
Thank you for sharing
Awesome video, informative and friendly
If you youse over 70% ethanol you will only get the wax out of the propolis.
Youse 60 % ethanol to get all the good out of propolis.
The info I got from a German chemist Dr. Thomas Gloger.
Love you videos keep up your great work.
Can you give some more details about this issue?🙏🏻
Simply AMAZING Thank you
I agree!
Thank you ❤
I've just processed about 100 pounds of this today.
Honest to God, it's in the dehydration room as we speak.
What a blessing 🙌
@@TheHoneystead we collect as we go. The smell is amazing.
One room in our entire operation smells like a dentist's office.
Undescribeable, other then a minty, sterile smell.
I didn’t even know this was a thing. That’s so cool
🙌🙌🙌
I use it typically on the dogs hot spots. Also typically on myself for cuts. Heals quickly
i need that stuff!! since covid my throat has never been the same & it gets so dry, singing @ church it goes out on me, Thank u for the info!!
Great video, such good naturalness : Alchemically speaking glass funnel would be awesome thus no metallic energy; love the channel
Cool, I just got some popolis. thinking of making tincture
I made the huge mistake of taking a piece of propolis and chewing it up. My neighbor came by after I did that and I had brown spots all over my teeth but I didn't know till I looked in the mirror afterwards. LOL how embarrassing!! I will use your recipe and avoid brown teeth! (I'm still picking propolis out of my teeth 3 hours later)
I scrapped a 5 ounce ball of propolis off one inner cover and the top bar and frame rest on an 8 frame box. Didn’t scrape the boxes corners down in, just from this one top! 5 ounces!!! I refer to it as ole number 13 mr sticky is what it’s listed as in my notes. I used PGA 25 fluid ounces with that 5 ounces tennis balls, 2 of them. Been in for 3 weeks now.
I'm really sick cough cough 🤧 I think I'd drink the whole bottle myself 😊
I just found your youtube channel and am loving your videos! Do you have a recipe list of your tinctures?
Love this video..I want to make a tinture, but I need propolis and was wondering if you sale the propolis..or know of a reputable place to order from that would have local..like South Texas...thank you so much..love your videos
I buy my Bee Propolis from Amazon in the UK.
Yall drinking the shine between shots? Lol love ya gals
Thanks so much, for your video, its very informative, can you make a video of how make an emergency kit. many blessings
Hi Kaylee. I’m just starting a beekeeping class and recently learned that some species of honeybees make more propolis than other species. Do you keep certain species for this purpose? I’m starting with just 2 hives but I’m very interested in harvesting propolis to create products 🐝
Very informative! For those who do not drink or use alcohol, can vinegar be substituted?
I love your videos! This one especially, as I am a beekeeper. What percentage propolis tincture is this that you made?
I've been saving my propolis manly to keep the bee yard tidy but now I can put it to use, thanks!
*ENTORNOU A ÁGUA*
I really need to do this. Have some frames that need cleaned, so what better time to start you know. Appreciate you sharing this.
If you have propolis with possible wood chips in it, would you shake it out before combining it with the alcohol?
That tincture looks good. Have you ever made propolis salve?
Thanks for the tutorial. You are so cute!
I am getting in beekeeping in a big way currently. I am also excited to harvesting propolis, pollen, honey, wax, and venom to use personally. However I am also aware of the varrora mite and the treatments required. What do you use to combat this mite. Almost all treatments do settle into honey, wax, pollen, propolis. So with that said how are you ensuring that you are not taking the chemicals used to treat the mite.
I chew on a little of it with wax untell I get tired of it sticking to my teeth then swallow it down. Ty for sharing.
Lol I do that too, this is easier for sure!
I can see you used to get on her nerves 😅😭 thank you for this video. I will be using to extract to treat my mother with cancer.
💙💙🐝🐝💙💙
I am one of beekeeper, and In my Hometown Lombok Indonesia there were many people who as beekeeper.. and Have so much propolis but we don't know how to make better liquid propolis..
The bee that we care for is kinds of bee Trigona
I have so much wax I need to process.... Canning tomatoes right now .... Wax will have to wait for winter....
That is the best winter project!
The alcohol doesn't kill the good stuff in the propolis that gives it its healing properties?
Do you have to remove all of the wax before making the tincture?
Mom would be my favorite bartender! 🙂 We chatted briefly last year about doing a non-alcoholic tincture since I have been sober for 13 years. Have you been able to find out any options? I know water can be used but I don't know how exactly. Great channel - very helpful!
I read that you can use glycerine but it takes a full year of sitting to extract the qualities.
Research this first, But I recently read that I think you can cook the alcohol out if you heated up. Again, research this first
Im a stingless bee keeper. Can i use a stingless bee propolis?. Btw thanks a lot for make this content, i love it so much
Someone needs to 3D print out a lid with a spout lip that attaches to Mason jars for Kaylee so she doesn't make a mess 😅
Does the alcohol burn when you put it on cuts, scrapes?
Can u make it using as an oil instead of alcohol so u can infuse into salves
Hi, can I make the tincture from propolis that are sold in pellets? My local beekeeper sells the propolis, so I was wondering if it can be used like that or does it needs to be like in that raw state (scrapped off from the hive)?
Where to get the label you used on the tinctured propulis?
It's good to know cause I thought the alcohol would kill all the good bacteria and Antifungal as well
Antiseptic properties. As I always thought, alcohol was just a great process for extracting oils from other types of organics such as herbs and plants. As I was interested in learning more about bee bread Which was consumed by spartans I came across another one of your videos.
Can you do a video on how to harvest propolis
If we don’t have bees where can we find propolis to purchase to make our own tincture?
Moonshine!
Exactly….
That would do it!
My tincture tendzs to remain very cloudy. How do I get it to clear up? Have you ever tried putting the propilus in a coffee filter, then in the jar? Just curious.
Mine is cloudy as well :) it’s all the goodness!
I want to buy some Propolis from your Etsy store. Which one is of the highest quality? I want to make a tincture with it. Thank you
Can this tincture be used for ears.. for infections and ear aches.
Would it be permissible to put propolis in our fire cider since it has so many health be nefits? Or using it with echinacia or elderberry?
Can you harvest propolis off of a hive with shb or wax moths?
You can!
Do u use an acid wash on it before adding everclear
I used local propolis and made a tincture with 75% vodka. I added it to my tea and it immediately fizzed and went a milky white amber colour in my glass. Is this a common reaction?
is there a way to make the tincture without using alcohol?
So I've got hives that died from cold last year and are completely covered in propolis. How old is too old?
My propolis is SUPER sticky! Does not seem dry as yours. Can I still use it?
So dont put tinctures outside during the 6 weeks? I was told to keep them in a window or outside???
can we do it without measuring
like approx amount?
I wonder if I could purchase propelous from a bee keeper to make my own tincture
Absolutely!
Before I go God bless you your family friends and a kiss but I wanted to say is you have a magical kingdom on your hands lol yeah large farm or ranch, do you mind sharing with us how many acres you got I was just curious OK gotta run take care I’ll see you in the next video. ✝️✝️✝️
Can I make this from golden milk?
nicc
So I started a teasel tincture and the root was dry when I started and the next day after adding the alchohol the root is above the liquid should I add more alchohol?
I would top it off :)
@@TheHoneystead thank you so very much for the quick response 👍
I see you have many different herbs in jars. Do you make an Arnica root tincture? I've been trying to buy Arnica root and it's out of stock everywhere.
Let me check my stock!
@@TheHoneystead 🥰
I cant find propolis ANYWHERE 🤔 but syill determined to make this.. (im not a bee keeper) r u selling propolis???
Where can i buy the alcohol from?
I am allergic to alcohol. Do i have choices to make the tincture WITHOUT ALCOHOL?
I got 2 jars of propolis from a very keeper at a country fair
That’s awesome!!!
@@TheHoneystead to me it has a similar texture to honeycomb
