Abstract

Honeybee can produce bee bread beside the most famous commercial products i.e. honey, propolis and pollen. These products are widely believed to have medicinal benefits. However, there are very few scientific data available on the honeybee-s product to prove the claims. In this study, bee bread from different species honeybee, namely Apis mellifera, Apis cerana, and Trigona spp were evaluated as antioxidants and natural antimicrobial agents. Bee bread from Apis cerana exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity, followed by Apis mellifera and Trigona spp. Meanwhile, bee bread from Apis cerana showed high antioxidant activities as radical scavenger, total flavonoid and todal phenolic. These findings establish the potential of bee bread from Apis cerana as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents, promising natural food supplements and natural preservatives.

Keywords: Apis mellifera; Apis cerana; Trigona spp; radical scavenger; antimicrobial activity
