International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology (IJASEIT) Vol.16, No.4, Aug 2026 | Nutritional Status, Physical Properties, and Bioactive Components of Stingless Bees Bee Pollen from Various Regions in Indonesia

---

The agglutination process between the stamens and bee saliva produces bee pollen. Bee pollen contains high nutritional value and distinctive physical characteristics. Thus far, there are no quality standards and analysis techniques for bee pollen worldwide, mainly for stingless bees. This is likely due to the multifloral nature of stingless bees and the difficulty of identifying the plant species they visit at the individual level. This study examined the nutritional value, bioactive components, and physical characteristics of pollen from Indonesian stingless bees. Based on the study, stingless bees in Indonesia are multifloral, with varied nutritional content and active components influenced by the botanical and geographical conditions of the plants they visit. The phenols and flavonoids were detected in almost all stingless bee pollen. Apart from that, some bee pollen contains small amounts of flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids, and alkaloids. However, steroids are not reported in all bee pollen. The physical characteristics of bee pollen from stingless bees can be observed in its color and microstructure. This further confirms that the bee pollen from stingless bees in Indonesia is multifloral. To better understand the variety of bee pollen types, it is essential to conduct more thorough investigations into the different plant species and the specific traits of stingless bee colonies within their hives. This research will help confirm the diversity that exists among the types of pollen collected by these bees.
