Australian Honey from Stingless Bees Shows Antibiotic Resistance Potential

Scientists have found that honey made by native Australian stingless bees could help fight infections that are resistant to antibiotics.

This special honey, called "sugarbag" honey, keeps its germ-fighting abilities even when heated or stored for a long time.

Unlike other types of honey, its power doesn't depend only on hydrogen peroxide.

The honey is made by the bees, not just the plants.

This makes it different from regular honey.

Since it is naturally produced, it could replace synthetic antibiotics and help people stay healthy.

The bees produce small amounts of honey, but the research indicates the potential for large-scale production.
