Microbiological and physical-chemical characteristics of pollen and honey from stingless bees: a review

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
The physical, chemical and sensory characteristics of pollen and honey from stingless bees (SLB) are quite different when compared to those produced by Apis mellifera. Meliponine honey has a high moisture content (23–37.5%); reducing sugars (12.65–77.11%)
