Pollen does have some resinous gum, butnot in any such quantity as would be nec-essary to produce the amounts of propolisfound about the hives. Furthermore, it isdistributed largely, if not entirely, over thehusks of the pollen grains, and, being vir-tually insoluble in the stomach juices, it isnot freed from the husks, but remains onthem and passes from the system with in various forms, when taken intothe human stomach, emulsifies and passeson, and is not tioating on top of stomachcontent.
