Australian stingless bee honey shows strong antibacterial effects in lab tests
Researchers at the University of Sydney are studying the medicinal potential of honey produced by stingless bees. The honey has demonstrated activity against a range of bacteria and fungi, including strains that are hard to treat. Results indicate that sugarbag honey is about as potent as established medical-grade honeys. Propolis also showed selective antimicrobial effects, though scientists have not yet explained why the honey is so strong. Additional work is planned to pinpoint the specific compounds responsible for its benefits.
