The Propolis Suspension 250ml is a concentrated liquid extract of raw bee propolis dissolved in a carrier solution. Propolis is a natural resinous compound produced by honey bees from plant resins, wax, and salivary enzymes — used inside the hive as a sealant and antimicrobial coating. In apitherapy and natural health practice, propolis is used for its documented antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Urban Beekeepers’ propolis suspension is made from raw propolis collected from Kenyan Apis mellifera scutellata colonies.
What Is Propolis Suspension?
Raw propolis is a dark, sticky resin that bees collect from tree buds and bark and use to seal gaps in the hive, sterilise surfaces, and embalm intruders too large to remove. It contains over 300 identified compounds including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aromatic aldehydes with well-documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. Propolis suspension dissolves the bioactive compounds from raw propolis into a liquid carrier — typically alcohol (tincture) or vegetable glycerine (for alcohol-free applications) — making it easier to apply topically to wounds, mouth ulcers, and skin irritations, or to take in diluted oral form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is propolis used for in apitherapy?
Propolis is used in apitherapy for its antimicrobial properties in wound care and skin infections, antifungal applications for oral thrush and nail fungal infections, anti-inflammatory applications for throat soreness and mouth ulcers, and as a general immune support supplement. It is one of the most researched natural bee products with a strong body of published scientific literature supporting its bioactivity.
Is propolis suspension safe to take orally?
Propolis suspension for oral use should be used in diluted form — typically 10–15 drops in a glass of water. Individuals with bee product allergies, asthma, or known propolis sensitivity should exercise caution and consult a health professional before use. Urban Beekeepers recommends consulting a qualified apitherapist or healthcare provider for therapeutic dosing guidance.
