Trigona Honey (Tritonema vulgaris) is created by the rarer species of Stingless Trigona honey Itama species and Trigona Thoracica Bees.

The pollen gathered from this species can help alleviate respiratory disorders, allergies and skin inflammation. These bee extracts are often mixed with other essential oils to create soothing, therapeutic soaps, shampoos and conditioners. Trigona honey is also a source of proteins, iron and trace elements that are beneficial for human health.
