We're running low on propolis, so I've been looking for some online. I've read that the Brazilian kind is best, which is what my mother-in-law gave us, so we're looking to stick with that. The brand is Apiario Silvestre (apparently apiario refers to a bee farm), which is available via ExpoBrazil. Unfortunately, they charge quite a bit for shipping. Alibaba.com has a list of propolis manufacturers, and Silvestre has a listing. Interestingly enough, on Alibaba they claim to have a 45% concentration, whereas on ExpoBrazil they list 30%.
There's another advertised brand of Brazilian, alcohol-free (not that I have anything against alcohol, but the Silvestre is as well) propolis by Uniflora. They have concentration in 45%, 55%, and 60 "Brix", which apparently also means percent by weight.

Turns out that the Uniflora 45% solution is a tincture, and the alcohol base doesn't taste very good. The 55% is also -- only the 60 Bx solution isn't in alcohol.
