If you want historic info on propolis, try the writings of
Pliny.  If you want to buy the products, try the health food/nutrition
centers.  The East European countries are big on its benefits and you
can purchase it in creams and tinctures.  If you want to talk to
someone, call Charles Mraz (802) 295-6383.  He is more into venom
therapy, but I suspect he is up on propolis, too.  If you want current
literature, Apimondia is the place to go.  There are usually
presentations on the topic at every meeting.  In 1978 they published
a collection of papers: PROPOLIS - Scientific data and suggestions
concerning its composition, properties and possible use in therapeutics.
IBRA was selling this book at some point.  I also know a person in
England who is studying the effects of propolis on cancer cells, but
I can't locate his address.  I will look for it.
