Abstract
SummaryMicroscopic analysis of 34 natural honey samples collected between January 2008 and December 2009 from one of the east coastal districts of India with unique native flora, indicates that 26 samples were of unifloral and 8 samples were multifloral. Sixty two plant genera of which Phoenix, BBorassus, Cocos, Eucalyptus, Brassica, Barringtonia, Syzygium, Schleich era, Zizyphus, Pongamia, Dalbergia, Psidium, Coriandrum, Mangifera, Lycopersicon, Mimosa, Citrus, and Moringa were the most prevalent bee plant genera. Pollen grains of Arecaceae, characteristic elements of coastal vegetation, were represented in twenty nine samples. Principal Component Analysis confirmed that all of the 26 unifloral samples had been classified correctly by melissopalynological analysis.
