We are happy to have a Kelulut bee hive given by my sister Ching Meei Jin about two years ago. Since then we have been sucking about 500gms of honey every other month. Stingless bee honey has a distinctive "bush" taste—a mix of sweet and sour with a hint of fruit. The taste comes from plant resins—which the bees use to build their hives and honey pots, and varies at different times of year depending on the flowers and trees visited.

The size of a colony in a hollow tree can range from a few dozens to over 1,000. The bees store pollen and honey in large egg-shaped pots made of beeswax, mixed typically with various types of plant resin or propolis. 
Kelulut honey produced by stingless honey bees has stronger antioxidant
properties compared to other honey types and may be a functional food
against metabolic syndrome. A number of reports have documented the
beneficial effects of stingless bee honey in different contexts, such as
antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cataract studies and anti-inflammatory
activity.
These pots are often arranged around a central set of horizontal brood combs where honey are housed.

When you rear these bees, make sure there are fruit trees around them because their colonies rely entirely on flower nectar and pollen for food.
