Did you know our tiny Australian native stingless bees are doing more than just pollinating your gardens? 🌸
Researchers from the University of Sydney have discovered that the honey produced by our native stingless bees (sometimes called sugarbag honey) has remarkably strong antimicrobial properties.
That means it can help fight off bacteria and fungi, even after being heated or stored for long periods. Unlike regular honey, which relies mostly on hydrogen peroxide for its antibacterial power, native bee honey has unique natural compounds that stay potent over time.
In simple terms: our little native bees are making honey that's been scientifically proven to have serious healing potential.
The best part? This discovery is shining a spotlight on how incredible Australia’s own pollinators really are.
At Happy Bee, we’re proud to supply locally bred native bees right here in the Northern Rivers.
