Power packed nutrition from a tiny bee

What?

The Stingless Bee Honey, is often referred to as the “Mother of Medicine” and has a distinctive sweet and sour taste. It is a unique delicacy that is sourced from stingless bees that thrive in pristine environments of Nagaland. Out of 9 species of Stingless bee reported in India, 6 are present in Nagaland, making the state the stingless bee diversity hotspot of India. Some tribal communities of Nagaland have been rearing stingless bees since long or from forefather’s time utilizing their traditional knowledge.  The beekeepers collect the stingless bee colony from the forests to establish the initial colony in their homes. After sighting the colony in the tree trunks, the incised tree trunk acts as the starter colony. They mostly keep the bees in traditional log hives or handmade wooden rectangular boxes.

Stingless bees (Melipona) produces honey containing trehalulose, a rare sugar not dominant in any other foods. The abundance of this sugar contributes to the low glycemic index (GI) of stingless bee honey. The special capabilities of stingless bees to extract nectar from tiny flowers contribute to the nutritional richness of Melipona honeydew. Various sources of wildflower, combined with regional factors, results in a honey noted for its tangy and sour notes.
