Abstract

These research objectives were to identify the honey type and the potential plants as food source of stingless bees in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Stingless bees honey samples were collected on September 2016 from four different locations in Lombok which are North Lombok, West Lombok, Central Lombok, and East Lombok. The pollen analysis was performed using Von Der Ohe et al. (2004) methods with modification. The result showed that stingless bees honey samples from four locations did not have predominant pollen which classified as multifloral honey. Meanwhile in the honey samples there identified 27 pollen types belonging to 21 families. The pollen spectrums of honey samples were diverse, with the highest dominancy of Arecaceae (Cocos nucífera) in North and Central Lombok and also Tiliaceae (Type Tílíaceae) in West and East Lombok.
