The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical quality of honeys samples of stingless bee (Meliponinae). Physico-chemical analyses were: moisture, color, pH, acidity, electrical conductivity, hydroxymethylfurfural, ashes, diastasic activity, reducing sugars, and sucrose. For the parameters hydroxymethylfurfural, ashes, reducing sugars and sucrose, the samples complied with the requirements of the current Brazilian legislation for honey. The diastasic activity and moisture parameters did not meet thresholds in the legislation, pointing to the need to create a specific legislation for honey of stingless bees, given the large number of species and the different characteristics of the honey that they produce.
