| description | In the past decade, the benefits of stingless bee honey as an anticancer agent has increased
in demand in Malaysia. Despite the increasing demand, the quality produced highly
depends on a certain plant, Ixora spp. The practice of planting design in landscape
development only by considering the aesthetic values leads to the poor productivity of
stingless bee honey. Therefore, this review focuses on the suitability of native plants used
in landscapes designed for stingless bees. This study employed thematic analysis related
to the issues between native plants, stingless bee and landscape development. Based on
the assessment, literature on stingless bees discussed issues related to its habitat in the
tropical rain forest, the behaviour of finding food, characteristics of its honey and the
benefits of consuming the honey. Meanwhile, studies on native plant demonstrated the use
of plants in providing food and habitat to the local insects which contribute to the
continuity of the species. As a conclusion, the quality of honey is dependent on the
relationship between stingless bees and native plants. Hence, the native plants can be
potentially used in planting design for the improvement of stingless bee honey production. |
