**4. Conclusion: key results**

In order to assist in the standardization process of apiculture products which are greatly diverse due to the variety of vegetation that exists in Brazil, it was possible to draw a profile of the main antioxidant substances of apiculture products from Brazil. It was possible to identify several substances of antioxidant capacity in bee products from Brazil, mainly in propolis and geopropolis, propolis extracts and honey.

Standardization has not yet been observed in scientific research and legislation in Brazil. Therefore, the types and quantification of substances with antioxidant capacity become too variable, thus, interfering in a more general analysis of the country's propolis. In this review, we observed that the chemical substances in propolis are determined by the flora of the region.

Additionally, since Brazil has great flora diversity, it is complex to follow a standardization process for the substances found in propolis.
