Here in Brazil we have Meliponiculture, farming honey from native stingless bees.

Wow, that's interesting! Does the honey differ from the honey bee one?

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 6 points 3 weeks ago

Depends on the species, but in general the honeys have variation in the nutrients, some considered even more medicinal than that of European Honey Bees.
They usually also have more water content, so unlike "regular" honey, they can more easily spoil.
