Abstract

Nectar production in scrubland of southern Spain (Andalusia). The aim of this work is to evaluate the alimentary resources for the Apis mellifera. A study has been carried out about the nectar production of the most representative species of a scrubland in Sierra de Mijas (Málaga, Spain). The sugar production per flower species has been calculated based on the nectar volume and its sugar concentration and the sugar production per m2/species according to the flower production per m2/year. The nectar presence has been detected in 66 out of the 115 studied species and the sugar amount has been quantified in 49 of them.
