The composition and bioactivity of honey are influenced by its botanical, geographical, entomological origins. This study investigates the physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial activity stingless bee (SBH) produced three Malaysian species: Heterotrigona itama, Lophotrigona canifrons, Tetrigona binghami. moisture content ranges from 25.44% to 40.36%, while color varies light amber dark amber. fructose, glucose, sucrose contents range 5.45 16.91 g/100 g, 3.85 19.64 undetectable 2.47 respectively. Trehalulose is present at a level 15.42 43.75 with L. canifrons exhibiting highest trehalulose concentration. All samples show low 5-HMF no detectable diastase activity. T. binghami has lowest pH, electricity conductivity acidity, exhibits strongest against Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli. H. itama potential based on ABTS, FRAP, DPPH assays. Among species, contains total phenolic content. These findings provide valuable insights into unique properties SBH, supporting further research, quality assessment, development international standards.

Honey, derived from floral nectar, has been valued for its nutritional and therapeutic properties, with recent studies emphasizing broad-spectrum antimicrobial potential, especially against resistance (AMR). Honey's activity stems unique composition, including high sugar content, low pH, bioactive compounds like hydrogen peroxide, methylglyoxal (MGO), phenolic compounds. Distinct honey types, such as Manuka, Sidr, Tualang, demonstrate varying effects based on their botanical geographical origins. Manuka honey, rich in MGO, is notably effective multidrug-resistant pathogens, while Sidr heather honeys excel biofilm inhibition antioxidative properties. Bioactive components, phenolics, flavonoids, enzymes, peptides, disrupt microbial membranes, inhibit metabolic pathways, induce oxidative stress. Advanced analytical techniques HPLC GC-MS have identified these compounds, though gaps remain understanding secondary metabolites synergistic actions. This review highlights honey's potential a sustainable resource, the need standardization, clinical validation, interdisciplinary research. Honey represents promising solution to AMR offers opportunities integration into modern medicine healthcare strategies.
