Bombinae and Meliponinae are the only reasonably close relatives of honeybees. Since Meliponinae have many biological characteristics in common with Apinae (storage of honey, production and use of wax, perennial colonies of sometimes considerable size, division of labor), and since workers of some of the (bigger) species at first glance greatly ...

THE ROLE OF STINGLESS BEES IN CROP POLLINATION
Annual Review of Entomology, 1999▪ Abstract Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are common visitors to flowering plants in the tropics, but evidence for their importance and effectiveness as crop pollinators is lacking for most plant species. They are known to visit the flowers of ∼90 crop species. They were confirmed to be effective and important pollinators of 9 species.

Beneficial molecules for bee colony nutrition and health are also nutritional and medicinal for humans consuming bee products. Stingless bee species are a source of entomological variability in the honey and pollen they produce, besides the plants they forage and the microbial associations receiving particular attention in classic microbiology, food ...

Flavonoids in Stingless-Bee and Honey-Bee Honeys
2012Both stingless-bee honey and Apis mellifera honey contain flavonoids that originate from nectar, pollen, and plant resins collected by bees. Such flavonoids indicate the botanical and geographical origins of honey and have associated health benefits.

Microorganisms Associated with Stingless Bees
2012The highly diversified group of stingless bees presents an associated microbiota that is suspected to be responsible for transforming pollen to bee bread or for the formation of honey. These microorganisms may also play a role on honey maturation and the biochemical modification of stored honey.
