The benefits of stingless bee honey for health found in various studies increase the demand for these apiculture activities to grow. However, the production of stingless bee honey requires specific garden design considerations according to the species’ nature and behaviour. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the design of a stingless bee garden by three stingless bee honey entrepreneurs in Kelantan, Malaysia for urban farming consideration. Three stingless bee gardens were selected based on their establishment in producing stingless bee honey for business, namely, (i) RTF Kelulut Garden, (ii) Meloris Kelulut Garden, and (iii) Husna Kelulut Garden. This research employed the mapping method, image capture to collect information on spatial arrangement, hive design, and plant identification for the commercial stingless bee garden. Data were analyzed using comparative analysis to define the significant considerations as well as the recommendation for better garden design. The finding suggests that there are three design layouts for the stingless bee garden which are a covered setting, a natural setting, and a mixed setting. Mix setting becomes the recommended setting suitable in tropical countries because of rainy and hot seasons. This study implies that an understanding of stingless bee garden design assists entrepreneurs in increasing the productivity and quality of stingless bee honey.

Scientists are becoming alarmed by the rise in drug-resistant bacterial and fungal strains, which makes it more costly, time-consuming, and difficult to create new antimicrobials from unique chemical entities. Chemicals with pharmacological qualities, such as antibacterial and antifungal elements, can be found in plants. Alkaloids are a class of chemical compounds found in nature that mostly consist of basic nitrogen atoms. Biomedical science relies heavily on alkaloid compounds. Based on 241 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific publications within the last ten years (2014–2024), we examined 248 natural or synthesized monomeric alkaloids that have antifungal and antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Based on their chemical structure, the chosen alkaloids were divided into four groups: polyamine alkaloids, alkaloids with nitrogen in the side chain, alkaloids with nitrogen heterocycles, and pseudoalkaloids. With MIC values of less than 1 µg/mL, compounds 91, 124, 125, 136–138, 163, 164, 191, 193, 195, 205 and 206 shown strong antibacterial activity. However, with MIC values of below 1 µg/mL, compounds 124, 125, 163, 164, 207, and 224 demonstrated strong antifungal activity. Given the rise in antibiotic resistance, these alkaloids are highly significant in regard to their potential to create novel antimicrobial drugs.
