With the help of 127 research papers that are accessible for review, a list of the bee flora of Indo-Gangetic region has been compiled, representing 273 plants serving as the nectar and pollen sources. Knowledge of bee floras of this region will prove to be significant for beekeepers during beekeeping and improving the apiculture industry.
