The jataí bee produces the most popular stingless bee honey, which is characterized by a fruity flavor and acidity. Produced in various regions in Brazil, it is considered typical of the Southeast. Of similar origin, honey produced by the mandaçaia bee stands out for its low acidity and the floral and less sweet flavor.
The types of honey best known in the North Region are the ones produced by the uruçu-cinzenta and uruçu-boa-de-renda bees. The first one is fruity and relatively sweet, while the second one has a very intense floral aroma.
The guaraipo honey, floral and fruity with hints of bitterness, and the bugia, herbaceous and with spicy notes, are typical to the Southern states.
In the Northeast, the highlight is the Jandaira honey, fruity with clove notes. The uruçu honey is also appreciated. In the Midwest, we can find the canudo bee, which produces an extremely acid type of honey with intense citrus notes.
