Meliponians are species popularly known as stingless bees. This natural attraction generated by the reduction of risks in the management added to the great variety of species, makes meliponiculture a potential alternative, combined with environmental education to inform and sensitize new audiences, whether they are close to the subject or not. For this, it was necessary to survey the literature on meliponiculture and in Brazil, the products derived from stingless bees, stingless bees in cities and if they bring benefits and the importance of environmental education combined with meliponiculture. Based on this information, a semi-structured questionnaire with 10 closed and two open questions was prepared and published. The sample showed a female profile, aged between 19 and 40 years, from the southeast region, from an urban area, with higher education than high school, with greater participation, bringing experiences, opinions and a lot of interest in learning more about the subject.
