Effects of conventional storage method on Geniotrigona thoracica stingless bee honey properties

Most of stingless bee honey contains high moisture content that can easily lead to honey fermentation. This study aims to investigate the applicable of conventional storage method on stingless bee (Geniotrigona thoracica) honey and its effect on storage stability. The Geniotrigona thoracica honeys w...
