Plants identification , determination of type attractiveness and flowering periods of plants that used by honey bee in Sorkhabad watershed basin in Mazanderan province.

this research recognized or identification the plants that the honey bees use of nectar or pollen or both of them.The first step is the identification of types of pollens. This provides a list of species that the honey bees has visited. For this porpose we observed the kind of activity of honey bees on flowers; thus we collected all of the pollens that honey bees brought with them ,and identify those pollens. Pollen was collected from plants that honey bees were seen to visit , and sample honey of that of in Sorkhabad watershed basin in Mazanderan was provided, also identify those pollens.and of in pollens slids and Photography were provided. The types of pollen in honey tell us from which flowers the bees gathered nectar and the pollens in the corbiculae (pollen baskets) tells us from which flowers pollen was gathered.In addition are appointed flowering periods of these plants. Consequently are recognized 40 Famlies, 95 Genus,122 species of Plants . 21 species ( 17.21%) of all of species ) are belong of Labiatae Family,15species ( 12.3% ) of all of species ) are dependent of Rosaceae Family , 14 species (11.48%) of all of species) are dependent of Legominosae Family,13species ( 10.66 %) of all of species ) are dependent of compositae Family,9 species (7.37%) of all of species ) are dependent of Crucifreae Family ,4 species (3.3%) of all of species ) are dependent of Boraginaceae Family, 4 species (3.3%) of all of species ) are dependent of Caryophyllaceae Family , 3 species ( 2.46%) of all of species ) are dependent of Umbelliferae Family ,3 species ( 2.46%) of all of species ) are dependent of Ranunculaceae Family , 2 species ( 1.64%) of all of species ) are dependent of Berberidaceae Family , 2 species ( 1.64%) of all of species ) are dependent of Scrophulariaceae Family , 2 species ( 1.64%) of all of species ) are dependent of Malvaceae Family , 2 species (1.64%) of all of species ) are dependent of Corylaceae Family , 2 species (1.64%) of all of species ) are dependent of Rubiaceae Family. From of plants samples identify 76species (62. 3% ) are herbage , 49 species (40.2% ) are Perennial Forbs , 18species (14.75 % ) are Annual Forbs , 9 species (7.4% ) are Biennial Forbs ,17 species (13.93 % ) are shrub , and 13 species (10.65% ) are Arbur , and 10 species (8.2 % ) are Frutex , and 5 species (4.321 % ) are Suffra tex and 1 species (0/81% ) are Epyphyte . Plants Sorkhabad watershed basin in Mazanderan of attractiveness for used by honey bees inclouding 4 Class : From 122 species of plants samples identify: 8 species in higher Class , 29 species in good Class , 25 species in middle Class and 60 species in are poor Class . In this research starting flowering periods plants and activiting honey bees use of nectar or pollen in Sorkhabad watershed basin in Mazanderan was in end of May moon and continiue to Aug moon. In the finally stage of the study 11 type were recognized or identification the plants the honey bees use , that 6 type forb and 1 type Farm and Garden and 3 type Forest and 1 type were Rock. From 122species of plants samples identify: 30 species ( 24.6%) are source nectar, 56 species ( 45.9%) are source Pollen , 36 species ( 29.5%) are as a source of both nectar and pollen . Flowering period and approximate distribution plants were appointed also vegetation map of plants used by honey bees of toghter apicultural calendar were provied. Key word: Nectar, Pollen.
