“…The characterization of MH is usually performed by melissopalynology, which allows the authentication of the dominant pollen [9,13,14]. However, other improved techniques are reported, as the case of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry [8], light and scanning electron microscopy [10], liquid chromatography [13], in addition to chemometric tools [12,15] and rheology [7,16].…”

Monofloral honeys are high-added-value food, a reason for constant cases of fraud. This study investigated Brazilian monofloral honeys from Hovenia dulcis flowering produced by Apis mellifera and Tetragonisca angustula bees. Chemical, physicochemical, rheological, and melissopalynological analysis were assessed. Properties such as moisture, pH, ashes, total acidity, total available carbohydrate, and soluble sugars of all analyzed honey samples agreed with the established by the legislation. All the honey samples were satisfactorily fitted by both Ostwald-de Waele and Casson rheological models revealing homogenous products, mostly presenting pseudoplastic character. The melissopalynology confirmed the presence of H. dulcis pollen in the MH samples; however, some honeys did not show >45% pollen of H. dulcis, thus revealing mislabeling cases. Continuous evaluation of honey is necessary, once this is a valuable food frequently involved in frauds, hence causing problems to consumers.

“…The high presence of pollen types such as Solanum and Alchornea may be related to the fact that many plants of these genera occur in secondary formation forests, in the Amazon, and remain flowered several months a year, offering pollen in abundance (Absy and Kerr 1977;Absy et al 1980;Lorenzi 2002;Silva et al 2004;Webster 2004;Ferreira and Absy 2013). Other taxon with a high frequency of occurrence in pollen samples of M. crinita, such as Schinus and M. caesalpiniifolia are cited by many authors as important in the stingless bee diet, in different regions of Brazil (Moreti et al 2002;Barth 2004;Martins et al 2011;Novais et al 2015;Correia et al 2018;Haidamus et al 2019).…”

Melipona crinita is widely used in meliponiculture for the production of honey, in several places in the Amazon. Thus, the aim of this study was: (i) determine the seasonal characteristics of the pollen collected by M. crinita, regarding the botanical origin; (ii) the growth habit of plants visited by workers and (iii) the contribution of wild and agricultural species in providing pollen for this bee. Our hypotheses were: (i) M. crinita is a generalist species in the use of its pollen sources; (ii) M. crinita adjusts pollen foraging according to flowering variation and (iii) M. crinita visits mainly wild trees and shrubs to collect pollen. The research was carried out from April 2018 to March 2019 in a meliponary located in the rural area of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil using a colony of M. crinita. The collected samples revealed 46 pollen types, distributed in 25 families and 41 genera of plants. Fabaceae (Mimosoideae) presented a higher frequency of occurrence, FO = 41.67%. The pollen types with the highest frequency of occurrence were: Solanum, FO = 19.72%; Alchornea, FO = 16.13% and Senna, FO = 11.93%, with the least seasonal being: Solanum and Aparisthmium cordatum. From the total plants visited by M. crinita, 71.74% were wild; 28.26% agricultural; 36.96% trees; 34.78% shrubs; 15.22% herbs; 6.52% lianas and 6.52% sub-bushes. Wild trees and shrubs represented 64.80% of all pollen collected by M. crinita. Thus, the conservation of these plants is essential for the successful management of M. crinita in meliponaries

“…Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi vegetasi setempat mempengaruhi warna madu. Hal ini sesuai dengan studi yang dilakukan oleh (Linhares Haidamus et al, 2019;Tucak et al, 2007) yang menyatakan bahwa vegetasi atau lingkungan sekitar memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap karakteristik warna madu yang dihasilkan.…”

Meliponiculture becomes popular beekeeping practices during pandemic of covid 19 since it has a good demand and price. Nonetheless, studies related characteristics of stingless bee honey from Riau province are very few and this leads to honey misconception. Objective. To examine the physicochemistry characteristics of stingless bee (H. itama) honey of four locations in Riau province using SNI 8664:2018 as the benchmark. Methods. Honey samples were taken from four regencies, i.e Rumbio Jaya, Kuok, Tambang, dan Ukui. Analyzing was conducted toward all samples using procedure stated at SNI 8664:2018. Results. All samples were categorized as honey based on organoleptic test. Moreover, honey color has range from white, light amber, light amber, dan amber depended on the locations. In addition, all samples from four locations met all requirements that are stated on the SNI 8664:2018 in parameter of diastase enzyme, hidroxylmetil furfural (HMF), percentage of reduction sugar, percentage of sucrose, and total free acidity. In moisture content, only sample from Rumbio Jaya met the requirements. Meanwhile, the others had more moisture content that is required by SNI 8664:2018. It is suggested that comprehensive study throughout the year need to be conducted to obtain more comprehensive results.
