Stingless-Bees-Amazon020.tif
Brazil, State of Pará, São João de Pirabas. Giorgio Venturieri takes samples of honey from different apiaries located within a 150 to 300km radius of Belém. The honey samples will be analyzed for their chemical compounds and possible therapeutic properties and also to find out what pollens are present in the regions in question, which will then maybe allow him to identify the plants.
