Honey as a Natural Flavorful Product: A Comprehensive Review of Its Potential Biological Activities and Recent Studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Health impacts of honey. ABSTRACT Honey is a natural and nutritious product of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) with low water content. Its color ranges from white to amber, with taste varying accordingly. The chemical form and viscosity of honey depend on its composition.

The deposition of anal excretions by Melipona favosa foragers (Apidae: Meliponinae): behavioural observations concerning the location of food sources [PDF]

, 2000
Melipona favosa consistently deposited anal excretions while foraging. Anal depositions were released more frequently and by more bees on artificial food sources at a greater distance from the nest.

Comparative 1H NMR Metabolomics Between Scandinavian Propolis and Australian Propolis: The Quest to Identify Radical Scavenging Compounds

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 438-450, April 2026.
Propolis from Scandinavia and Australia was chemically characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate modeling. Recursive partial least squares revealed spectral features associated with radical scavenging activity, and STOCSY enabled identification of the key phenolic compounds underlying these bioactive features. ABSTRACT Propolis from Apis

Hygienic behaviour in Brazilian stingless bees

Biology Open, 2016
ABSTRACT Social insects have many defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. One of these is hygienic behaviour, which has been studied in detail in the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Hygienic honey bee workers remove dead and diseased larvae and pupae from sealed brood cells, thereby reducing disease transfer within the colony ...

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 93-112, March 2026.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
