(8) REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Philippines is so lucky to have a very rich kind of honey bee diversity, one of which is the
Trigona/Tetragunula (stingless bees). The Philippines' native stingless bees are locally
known as Kiwot bees. These are very interesting having all the features of a honey bee,
except without the sting. These bees pollinate high-value crops like mango, pili, and coconut
(Fernandez and Basu 2020)

Dr. Cleofas Cervancia of UPLB Bee Program reported during the first World Bee Day that
kiwot bees visit more economic plants than other bees; and for that, this should make
beekeeping with kiwot bees a part of climate change mitigation. Specifically with typhoon-
prone province like Sorsogon, these bees can help with faster recovery of plants and crops
through intense pollination

A total of 2,424 stingless bee-keepers are spread in the three main island groups of the
Philippines, the majority of which are found on Luzon (n=1,969), followed by Mindanao (260),
and Visayas (195). Analysis showed that the investment yielded an NPV (USD 42,758) which
is greater than zero, thus the investment is feasible. Likewise, the IRR is 21%, which is higher
than the interest rate of 6% and as shown in the value of BCR (1.25) and PP of 2.91, the
investment for stingless bee-keeping can be a sustainable enterprise in the Philippines. (A.
Locsin et., 2021)

Owing to the high antimicrobial and antifungal activities of propolis (Sanchez et al., 2015), its
extract is used in making soaps and other cosmetic products. The propolis and honey from
this species are potential neuroprotective agents against ischemic stroke (Desamero et al.,
2017).
Furthermore, the pot pollen (Vit et al., 2018) from stingless bees has high nutritive value. A
total of eight pot pollen samples from T. biroi was analyzed by Belina-Aldemita et al. (2019)
and found to contain soluble proteins, free amino acids, fructose, glucose, sucrose, and small
amounts of di- and trisaccharides; besides sucrose, mannitol was highest in concentration
among all analyzed carbohydrates and sugar alcohols. The predominant fatty acids were
palmitic, α-linolenic and linoleic acids, while major elements quantified were calcium and
magnesium.
Depending on the intended market, honey may be bottled directly into small containers for
retail sale or into large drums for storage or export. In an effort to appeal to a wide range of
consumers, honey is packaged in containers of many different sizes and styles. These
include glass jars, plastic tubs and squeezable jugs. Like most aspects of honey processing,
bottling can involve automation in large operations, or manual labour such as a hand valve on
a plastic pail in smaller operations. (Canada Agriculture and Food Museum 2023)

Process flow of Stingless Bee Honey Processing

1. Harvesting:
 Stingless beekeepers typically use a special hive design that allows for easy
honey extraction without harming the bees.
 Harvesting is usually done by gently separating the honey pots from the brood
chamber.
2. Preparation:
 The harvested honey pots are collected in clean containers. It's crucial to ensure
the containers are free from contaminants and are made of food-grade materials.
 Any foreign particles or debris are removed from the honey.
3. Extraction:
 The honey pots are opened, and the honey is extracted. This can be done using
different methods, such as:
 Hand Pressing: Squeezing or pressing the honey pots to release the
honey.
 Centrifugation: Using a centrifuge to separate honey from the wax.
4. Filtration:
 The extracted honey is passed through a fine mesh or cloth to remove any
remaining impurities, such as wax particles or bee parts.
5. Settling and Skimming:
 The honey is left to settle in a container for a period of time. During this process,
air bubbles and lighter impurities rise to the surface and can be skimmed off.
6. Bottling:
 Once the honey has settled and been skimmed, it's ready to be bottled. Clean,
food-grade bottles and jars are used to store the honey.
7. Labeling and Packaging:
 Proper labeling is important for consumers to know the origin, type, and any
special characteristics of the honey.
 Packaging should be secure and, if needed, tamper-proof to ensure the honey's
integrity.
8. Storage:
 The bottled honey is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper
storage helps maintain the honey's quality.
9. Quality Control:
 A sample of the honey may be sent for lab testing to check for factors like
moisture content, acidity, and presence of contaminants.
10. Distribution:
 The honey is distributed to various sales outlets, which can include local markets,
specialty stores, or even online platforms.
11. Regulatory Compliance:
 Depending on the region, there may be specific regulations and standards that
need to be adhered to for beekeeping and honey production.
12. Record Keeping:
 Maintaining records of the entire process is important for traceability and quality
control. This can include details about harvest dates, extraction methods, and
any treatments applied.
13. Environmental Considerations:
 Sustainable and eco-friendly practices should be considered throughout the
process to minimize negative impacts on the environment.

Remember, it's crucial to handle honeybees and their products with care and respect for their
ecological importance. Additionally, safety measures should be followed to protect both the
bees and the beekeepers during the honey extraction process.
