Abstract

Contribution at the study of the selective utilization for Apis melltfera L. of the local flora in one apyary in the NW of Spain. In this work, we have determined the selective utilizatión of the pollen collection by Api.s inellifera in the species of the sub-humed mediterranean (in accordance with climatic index of Allué) zone of Galicia (NW of Spain), throughout sampling pollen loud at the hives. This was quantified the different plant used by honey bees, analyzing the relative importance of them.
