Stingless Bees (Kelulut Bees) Farm in Sematan Town
The rearing of stingless bees is new in Sabah and Sarawak
They breeds stingless bees to get the propolis which can “promote healing and
regeneration of tissues.
It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory functions and protect the body from
oxygen free radical damage, …useful as healing agent and application for home
remedies such as honey, soap and balm”.
In Malaysian market the price is RM100 per kg
Trigona bees are not dangerous to children and are fascinating to watch. They
are much smaller at about 0.5cm in size, and have a slimmer body. Stingless bees
don’t whizz around, these bees seemingly more relaxed and do not make you feel
as tense with their lack of sting during an encounter.
A life-style health food enthusiastic may "drink fresh honey" by simply suck
with a straw directly from a bee hive in his backyard.
