Özet:

 


The present paper incorporates
comparative pollen analysis of A.cerana
Fabricius and A. mellifera L. samples
belong to summer season of 2008-2009 from Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh.
Total 32 pollen taxa belong to 22 families were identified. Out of 32 pollen
taxa 10 pollen taxa were commonly encountered in both summer honeys of A.cerana
and A. mellifera. Borassus
flabellifer pollen are predominant in two samples of A. mellifera, and remaining 9 samples were multiflora. 


Apis
cerana, an Indian honey bee and A. mellifera, an European bee, are
domesticated bees which are useful for honey production through apiary. The
size of the honey bee and foraging area of A.cerana
are small when compare to A.mellifera, Hence
the number of pollen in honey samples of A.cerana
are lesser than A. mellifera due to
less coverage by A.cerana bees for
nectar and pollen. Guntur district have a good potential for sustaining
beekeeping ventures because of the diversity of nectar taxa.
