I'm up here on the mountain trying to clean up the damaged-downed trees from the ice storm earlier this week. Got up to about 62* right now with the sun shining. The bees are going nuts around all of the fresh cut wood and saw shavings. No, I didn't cut up a bee tree. They're literally going after the fresh shavings. 
I've never really seen them do that before. They're kind of pissy too.

Propolis is gathered from all sorts of sources.
Per wiki- Propolis or bee glue is a resinous mixture that honey bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. Propolis is used for small gaps (approximately 6 millimeters (0.24 in) or less), while larger spaces are usually filled with beeswax. Its color varies depending on its botanical source, the most common being dark brown. Propolis is sticky at and above room temperature, 20 °C (68 °F). At lower temperatures, it becomes hard and very brittle.[citation needed] |
