SOUZA, E.A. et al. Physicochemical properties of propolis in function of seasonality and production method. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.228, pp.571-576. ISSN 1885-4494.

The aim of this work was to investigate monthly, for one year the seasonality effect on the physicochemical properties (dry weight, flavonoids contents, pH and antioxidant activity) of ethanolic extract (EAP) of propolis produced by three different techniques (intelligent propolis collector, plastic screen or scraping) fifteen colonies of africanized bees. No differences (p>0.05) in the physicochemical properties due to the technique of propolis production and seasonality were observed.

Keywords : Apis mellifera; Africanized bees.
