Abstract

The paper incorporates a qualitative and quantitative analysis of pollen contents in five squeezed honey samples of Apis dorsata hives collected from forest area of Bhadrawati tahsil of Chandrapur district. Terminalia sp. represents the predominant pollen type in three samples ranged from (47.58 to 86.75%) are designate as Termanalia honey. The other significant pollen types recorded include Terminalia sp., Astericanthalongifolia, Leucanaealeucocephala, Citrus sp., Blumea sp., Celosia argentea, Capsicum annumm, Allium cepa, Meliaazadirachta, Careayaarboarea, Delonixregia, Pongamiapinnata and Mangiferaindica. The pollen counts ranged from 55000/g to 1265000/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 particulararea.
