Abstract :
The paper incorporates a qualitative and quantitative analysis of pollen contents in two squeezed honey samples of Apis dorsata hives collected from forest area of Nagbhid tahsil of Chandrapur district. Terminalia sp. represents the secondary pollen type in two samples ranged from (41.75% to 33.66%). The other significant pollen types recorded include Psidium guajava, Capsicum annum, Sapindus emarginatus, Pogamia pinnata, Asterecantha longifolia, Mangifera indica, Alium cepa, Capparis grandis, Citrus sp., Mayetenus emarginatus . The pollen counts ranged from 173000/g to 853000/g. The data reflects the floral situation of the place were particular honey was produced and the identification of geographical origin based on the presence of a combination of pollen types of that particular area.
Keywords: Pollen, Honey, Apis dorsata, Forest area, Nagbhid tahsil.
