Australian scientists have found a potential new ally in the fight against hard-to-treat infections – honey from tiny native stingless bees that packs a powerful germ-killing punch, even after years of storage. Research from the University of Sydney shows that honey produced by Australian “sugarbag bees” contains natural antimicrobial properties that remain effective even after heat treatment and long-term storage – some samples still working after 18 years. This makes it dramatically different from regular honey, whose germ-fighting power often fades over time. “Given the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance, our findings suggest stingless bee honey could complement, or provide … Continue reading Native Australian Bee Honey Works Against Germs Even After 18 Years When Regular Honey Fails
