Abstract :

Honey bees obtain their nutrition in form of pollen & nectar from flowering plants. The present study was conducted to ascertain the availability of pollen rich flora & amount of pollen collected by honey bees during pollen flow season. Natural pollen was collected by installing wooden pollen traps on the entrance of bee hives. The data of pollen collection for two different locations indicates that the amount of pollen rich bee flora was more or less similar at both locations. In Panchkula, maximum pollen (880.2 gm per colony) was collected in the month of Feuary, while in Gwalior maximum quantity of pollen was collected in January month (1033.1 gm per colony).
