I have smelled the bridges of new violins manufactured in Poland in the early 21st century. They smell like a beehive, and I have no doubt that the wood was sealed with a spirit solution of propolis. Just plain Bill 05:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the edit of 22:49, 3 February 2006 by 84.97.222.71, it seems a bit effusive, a bit like a sales pitch. I intend to tone it down a bit in a day or so, if someone else doesn't get there first. Just plain Bill 04:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

This article doesn't make sense. In one sentence, it says that the benefits of propolis can't be measured because its composition varies so widely, and in the next it says "Propolis is rich in flavonoids". How can you say that if you can't say that propolis will always be made from the same substance?4.88.42.140 (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see where it says that. It does say, "Poplar resin is rich in flavanoids." __Just plain Bill (talk) 03:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
