          Abstract

          Procurou-se conhecer a flora de importância polinífera para Apis mellifera (L.) na região de Viçosa, MG, em período de entressafra de mel, entre agosto e dezembro de 2005. O experimento foi realizado em dois apiários distintos, cada um com cinco colmeias. As cargas retidas nos coletores de pólen instalados nas colmeias foram analisadas quanto à origem botânica. As plantas em floração no entorno dos apiários foram coletadas e identificadas. A maioria das plantas de importância polinífera para abelhas na região de Viçosa era nativa, localizada em jardins e com hábito arbóreo. Pela análise palinológica, verificou-se que espécies como Anadenanthera colubrina, Arecaceae sp., Baccharis dracunculifolia, B. melastomaefolia, Coffea spp., Emilia sagittata, Eugenia uniflora, Mikania cordifolia, M. hirsutissima, Myrcia fallax, Psidium guajava, Vernonia condensata, V. diffusa, V. lanuginosa e V. mariana são potenciais recursos poliníferos a serem utilizados no período de entressafra do mel. Os resultados indicaram a importância de plantas localizadas em áreas abertas para o forrageamento de pólen por A. mellifera e confirmaram o potencial polinífero da região estudada, durante o período de entressafra do mel.

          The objective of this work was to study flora of polliniferous importance for Apis mellifera (L.) in the region of Viçosa-MG, during the period between honey harvests from August to December, 2005. The experiment was carried out in two different apiaries, each one with five beehives. The pellets retained in the pollen collectors in the beehives were analyzed with respect to their botanical origin. The flowering plants surrounding the apiaries were collected and identified. Most plants of polliniferous importance for the bees in the Viçosa region were native, located in gardens and with arboreal habitus. The palynological analysis showed that species such as Anadenanthera colubrina, Arecaceae sp., Baccharis dracunculifolia, B. melastomaefolia, Coffea spp.s are potential polliniferous resources to be used during the period between honey harvests. The results indicate the importance of plants located in open areas for pollen scavenging by A. mellifera, confirming the polliniferous potential of the studied area during the period between honey harvests.
