Abstract
Stingless bee honey is one of the most complex natural foodstuffs. This type of honey quantitatively possesses a higher moisture content, greater acidity, a slightly lower level of total carbohydrates, and higher levels of antioxidant and biological activities than Apis mellifera honey. This review emphasises that stingless bee honey represents an important innovation for the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, due to its positive health effects and market potential.
