Abstract
Kandari AM, Uslinawaty Z, Ilton M. 2020. Vegetation types, climatic conditions and Trigona sp. honey quality in Onewila Village, Ranomeeto district South Konawe Regency. Jurnal Lahan Suboptimal: Journal of Suboptimal Lands 9(1):57-63.Forests in Indonesia have considerable potential because besides being used in the form of wood for various purposes, it also has the potential of non-timber products that can be used for various things, one of which is as a vegetation for honey bees, especially bees Trigona sp.This study aims to identification of vegetation types, climatic conditions and honey quality of Trigona sp. in the Onewila village, Ranomeeto District South Konawe Regency. The observed variables were vegetation, temperature, rainfall, and honey quality based on SNI 2013 standards. The results found the vegetation types at the cultivation location was Caliandra (Caliandra calothyrsus =10), coconut (Cocos nucifera = 12), teak (Tectona grandis= 20), peat (Syzygium polycephalum Merr = 7), mango (Mangifera indica =5), langsat (Lansium domesticum =15), kedondong (Spondias dulcis =3), guava (Psidium guajava =4), areca (Areca catechu = 10), coffee (Coffea Arabica = 15), cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale =15), areca nut (Areca catechu), coffee (Coffea arabica), cashew nut (Spondias dulcis), Cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale = 15), Sirsak ((Annona muricata = 2), and asoka flowers (Saraca asoka= 5). The air temperature and rainfall conditions in the location is very supportive of Trigona cultivation because the average of air temperature ranges from 29oC, and the average monthly rainfall at Ranomeeto station is highest in January (135 mm) and lowest in August (16.8 mm). The honey quality of Trigona sp, from several variables such as water content, acidity, HMF levels, and reducing sugar levels are 16.98%, 33.94 mg/kg, 17.3 mg/kg, 69.31 % b/b. This means that the honey quality of Trigona sp found in Onewila village meets the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-3545-2013 2013).
Highlights
Forest with various functions and benefits provides a huge influence, either directly or indirectly to the ecological, economic and social. (Torres-Rojo et al, 2016) states that the use of forests to extract timber are starting to switch to the use of non-timber forest products that lead to sustainable forest management
According to Sihombing (2005) composition of honey is determined by two main factors namely, the origin of honey nectar composition in question and certain external factors resulting quality of honeybee products is determined by climatic conditions and vegetation types

Summary
Forest with various functions and benefits provides a huge influence, either directly or indirectly to the ecological, economic and social. (Torres-Rojo et al, 2016) states that the use of forests to extract timber are starting to switch to the use of non-timber forest products that lead to sustainable forest management. Siregar et al, (2011) states that the direct benefits that can be derived from honeybees, which produces a wide range of honey bee products such as honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen, wax, adhesive and bee venom. According to Sihombing (2005) composition of honey is determined by two main factors namely, the origin of honey nectar composition in question and certain external factors resulting quality of honeybee products is determined by climatic conditions and vegetation types. The state of the elements of this climate will affect behavior and metabolism take place in living organisms (Prawirowardoyo, 1996) Honeybees produce their products by utilizing the feed source (vegetation) that is around, while vegetation is affected by climatic conditions around it. Village Onewila Ranomeeto District of South Konawe, with the aim to determine the vegetation types and population, climatic conditions and the honey quality of Trigona sp. Village Onewila Ranomeeto District of South Konawe, with the aim to determine the vegetation types and population, climatic conditions and the honey quality of Trigona sp. compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-3545-2013 2013) (BSN, 2013)
