| dc.description.abstract | Besides being able to produce honey, honey bees can also produce other products
in the form of propolis, royal jelly, and pollen which can provide economic benefits
for farmers. The success of honey bee keeping is influenced by the availability of
flowers as bee feed. The availability of flowering plants as bee feed, greatly affects
the amount of honey production. This research was conducted in order to provide
information and data regarding the availability of feed found in the honey bee
cultivation location of Flora Nauli. The data collection method is carried out by
making direct observations to the research location in the form of identification of
bee feed plants, plant springs, activities in and out of bees from the hive to find food
by observation, inventory and interview methods. Then a literature study related to
research was carried out in the form of data on the general condition of the
research site, determination of plant types and plant seasons. Plants identified as
sources of bee feed plants were obtained as many as 43 types. There are 11 types
of plants that flower throughout the year. Flora Nauli has many diverse and
sufficient sources of bee feed. | en_US |
