Özet:

 This study presents the results of pollen analysis on honey samples collected from 85 different locations across all districts of Trabzon, Türkiye, during the months of June to October between 2009 and 2012. A total of 50 pollen taxa were identified, including 23 families, 25 genera, and 2 species. The most dominant pollen type was Castanea sativa, found in 65 samples, reflecting the regional floral characteristics. Lamiaceae was dominant in only one sample. Secondary pollen types commonly observed included Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Carduus, Cistus, Cynoglossum, Fabaceae, Hedysarum, Laurus nobilis, Rhododendron, and Rosaceae. Four samples were classified as monofloral honeys, all identified as Castanea sativa honey. Rhododendron, known for its toxic effects when present above a certain threshold in honey, was detected in 48 samples, indicating the necessity of evaluating these honeys in terms of consumer health. TPN-10 ranged from 2,845 to 1,525,683 per 10 g of honey. Correlation analysis showed that floral diversity increased with altitude, while cluster analysis indicated that total pollen count was the most influential factor in sample classification. These findings underline both the rich botanical diversity of Trabzon honeys and the impact of ecological variables on honey composition.

 Bu çalışmada, 2009-2012 yılları arasında Trabzon ilinin tüm ilçelerinde, Haziran-Ekim aylarında 85 farklı bölgeden toplanan bal örnekleri üzerinde polen analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, 23 familya, 25 cins ve 2 tür düzeyinde olmak üzere toplam 50 taksona ait polen varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Bölgenin karakteristik türlerinden Castanea sativa, 65 örnekte dominant polen olarak en yüksek orana ulaşmıştır. Lamiaceae familyası ise yalnızca bir örnekte dominant olarak saptanmıştır. Sekonder polen grubunda ise Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Carduus, Castanea sativa, Cistus, Cynoglossum, Fabaceae, Hedysarum, Lamiaceae, Laurus nobilis, Rhododendron ve Rosaceae taksonları öne çıkmıştır. İncelenen örneklerin 4ü monofloral bal olarak sınıflandırılmış ve tamamı Castanea sativa balı olarak tanımlanmıştır. Balda belli bir miktarın üzerinde bulunduğunda zehirleme etkileriyle bilinen Rhododendron cinsine ait polenler 48 örnekte belirlenmiş, bu durum balın tüketici sağlığı açısından değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini göstermiştir. TPS-10 g değerine göre polen sayıları 2.845 ile 1.525.683 arasında değişmiştir. Korelasyon analizleri, rakım yükseldikçe balın floristik çeşitliliğinin arttığını ortaya koyarken; kümeleme analizinde örneklerin sınıflandırılmasında en belirleyici unsur toplam polen sayısı olmuştur. Bu bulgular, Trabzon balının floristik zenginliğini ortaya koyarken, aynı zamanda ekolojik değişkenlerin bal kompozisyonu üzerindeki etkilerini de net bir şekilde gözler önüne sermektedir.
