Stingless bees (Hymenoptera; Apidae; Meliponini), with a biodiversity of 605 species, harvest and transport corbicula pollen to the nest, like , but process and store the pollen in cerumen pots instead of beeswax combs. Therefore, the meliponine pollen processed in the nest was named pot-pollen instead of bee bread. Pot-pollen has nutraceutical properties for bees and humans; it is a natural medicinal food supplement with applications in health, food science, and technology, and pharmaceutical developments are promising. Demonstrated synergism between pot-pollen ethanolic extracts, and antibiotics against extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria revealed potential to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Reviewed pot-pollen VOC richness was compared between Australian (27), (31), and (28), as well as the Venezuelan (95). Bioactivity and olfactory attributes of the most abundant VOCs were revisited. Bibliometric analyses with the Scopus database were planned for two unrelated topics in the literature for potential scientific advances. The top ten most prolific authors, institutions, countries, funding sponsors, and sources engaged to disseminate original research and reviews on pot-pollen (2014-2023) and direct injection food flavor (1976-2023) were ranked. Selected metrics and plots were visualized using the Bibliometrix-R package. A scholarly approach gained scientific insight into the interaction between an ancient fermented medicinal pot-pollen and a powerful bioanalytical technique for fermented products, which should attract interest from research teams for joint projects on direct injection in pot-pollen flavor, and proposals on stingless bee nest materials. Novel anti-antimicrobial-resistant agents and synergism with conventional antibiotics can fill the gap in the emerging potential to overcome antimicrobial resistance.
无刺蜂（膜翅目；蜜蜂科；无刺蜂族），拥有605种生物多样性，像蜜蜂一样采集并将携粉足上的花粉运回蜂巢，但它们会将花粉加工并储存在蜡质罐中，而非蜂蜡巢脾里。因此，在蜂巢中加工的无刺蜂花粉被称为罐花粉，而非蜂粮。罐花粉对蜜蜂和人类都具有营养保健特性；它是一种天然药用食品补充剂，在健康、食品科学与技术领域有应用，且在药物研发方面前景广阔。已证实罐花粉乙醇提取物与抗生素对广泛耐药（XDR）细菌具有协同作用，显示出对抗抗菌药物耐药性（AMR）的潜力。对澳大利亚的（27种）、（31种）和（28种）以及委内瑞拉的（95种）无刺蜂的罐花粉挥发性有机化合物（VOC）丰富度进行了比较。重新审视了最丰富的VOC的生物活性和嗅觉属性。计划对文献中两个不相关的主题进行Scopus数据库文献计量分析，以寻求潜在的科学进展。对2014 - 2023年发表关于罐花粉的原创研究和综述以及1976 - 2023年发表关于直接注入食品风味的十大最多产作者、机构、国家、资助赞助商和来源进行了排名。使用Bibliometrix - R软件包对选定的指标和图表进行了可视化展示。一种学术方法深入了解了古老的发酵药用罐花粉与一种强大的发酵产品生物分析技术之间的相互作用，这应该会吸引研究团队对罐花粉风味直接注入的联合项目以及关于无刺蜂巢材料的提议产生兴趣。新型抗抗菌药物耐药剂以及与传统抗生素的协同作用可以填补在克服抗菌药物耐药性新兴潜力方面的空白。
