Honey production and its quality and quantity are fundamentally related to plant species specificity and the vegetational pattern around bee colonies. It is therefore imperative that knowledge of the bee ecosystem and its ramifications is an essential prerequisite in apiary management and product development. It is in this background an attempt to review the investigations made in the branch of Melittopalynology in different parts of India have been made in this paper. 收起
