VIVAS, NELSON JOSÉ; MACA, JUAN DARÍO  and  PARDO, MARCELO. QUALITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE GATHERED POLLEN FOR Apis mellifera L IN THREE APIARIES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF POPAYAN. Rev.Bio.Agro [online]. 2008, vol.6, n.2, pp.94-98. ISSN 1692-3561.

During months of June, July, August September in 2006, a study of melisopalinology was developed in three places near Popayán, aiming to determine the predominant apian flora in the study zone. The pollen types recollected by Apis mellifera and the flower blooms collected on the field during the study were analyzed using the Lactic Acetolysis technique. From the 40 types of pollen collected, by means of microscopy only 24 were identified among the pollen found in the beehives

Keywords : Melissopalynology; apian flora; pollen types; apis mellifera; flower bloom; beehives; lactic acetolysis.
