Propola Hives just may reduce mite loads learn more from Matthew Schock in this interview.

In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Schock of Premier Bee Products to explore a fundamental shift in how we think about hive health: the restoration of the propolis envelope. While modern beekeeping has long prioritized smooth, planed wood, Matthew explains how the specialized texture of Propola hive boxes encourages bees to build a natural antimicrobial "envelope" that mimics their ancestral homes in tree cavities. We dive into the compelling recent research—specifically a 2024 study—that highlights how this natural defense mechanism not only stabilizes the hive’s microbiome but also contributes to a significant reduction in Varroa mite impact. It is a fascinating look at how providing bees with the right environment allows their own natural immunity to do the heavy lifting.
