“This new publication is one of the first books specifically devoted to stingless bees. It is certainly the first to focus on the honey produced by this group of insects. … The chapters of this book provide abundant evidence of ecological and economic importance of the stingless bees. … this book provides enough knowledge to stimulate the realization of the nutritional and medicinal potential of pot honey.” (Tim A. Heard, Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición, Vol. 62 (4), 2012)
