Abstract

Both honeybees (Apis spp.) and stingless bees (Trigona spp.) produce honeys with high nutritional and therapeutics value. Until recently, the information regarding potential health benefits of stingless bee honey (SBH) in medical databases is still scarce as compared to the common European bee honey (EBH) which is well known for their properties as therapeutic agents. Although there have been very few reports on SBH, empirically these products would have similar therapeutic quality as the EBH. In addition, due to the structure of the nest, few studies reported that the antimicrobial activity of SBH is a little bit stronger than EBH. Therefore, the composition of both the types of honey as well as the traditional uses and clinical applications were compared. The results of various studies on EBH and SBH from tissue culture research to randomised control clinical trials were collated in this review. Interestingly, there are many therapeutic properties that are unique to SBH. Therefore, SBH has a great potential to be developed for modern medicinal uses.

无刺蜂蜜与欧洲蜂蜜的治疗特性比较。

蜜蜂(Apis spp.)和无刺蜜蜂(Trigona spp.)生产的蜂蜜具有很高的营养和治疗价值。直到最近，医学数据库中关于无刺蜜蜂蜂蜜(SBH)潜在健康益处的信息仍然很少，而普通的欧洲蜜蜂蜂蜜(EBH)以其作为治疗剂的特性而闻名。虽然关于SBH的报道很少，但从经验上看，这些产品与EBH具有相似的治疗质量。此外，由于巢的结构，很少有研究报道SBH的抑菌活性比EBH稍强。因此，比较了两种蜂蜜的组成以及传统用途和临床应用。本综述整理了从组织培养研究到随机对照临床试验的各种关于EBH和SBH的研究结果。有趣的是，SBH有许多独特的治疗特性。因此，SBH具有很大的现代医药开发潜力。
