The plant flowers and honeybees have a special relationship in which both benefit. Honeybees obtain food and the flowers pollinated by honeybees. The main source of food for honeybees consists of nectar and pollen that collected by worker bees as the source of carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals for growth and development colonies in the hive. The aimed of research was to investigate the plant's types as the source of honeybees forages. This research has been conducted from 4 to 16 June 2017, in Faculty of Animal Science and Lembah Universitas Gadjah Mada. The research was used by direct observation on the around of research location. To determine the type of plants that produce nectar and pollen were performed by taking sample one or two flowers every plant, then check the availability of nectar and pollen. The data type of honeybees forages were analyzed by descriptive analysis. The results showed that the type of honeybees forages in Faculty of Animal Science and Lembah UGM were Pometia pinnata, Terminalia catappa, Chrysophyllum cainito, Dimocarpus longan, Mangifera indica, Tamarindus indica, Nephelium lappaceum, Musa paradisiaca, Lagerstroemia, Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena leucocephala, Syzygium polyanthum, Gmelina arborea, Capsicum annum, Ceiba pentandra, Muntingia calabura, Swietenia macrophylla, Syzygium aqueum, and Anacardium occidentale. The research results indicate that Faculty of Animal Science and Lembah UGM have a great potential for beekeeping honeybees especially bee of Trigona sp. |
