Abstract: FAJARDO, ALEJANDRO JR. CAPULONG, October, 1999. "Pollen Foraging Behavior of Native Honeybees, Apis cerana Fab. In the Vicinity of Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite". Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Biology, (Major in General Biology). Thesis Adviser: Dr. Evelyn 0. Singson The pollen foraging behavior of Apis cerana Fab. was investigated. Two wild colonies of the native honeybees were used in the experiment. The colonies were located inside a septic tank and in a wall cavity of the Physical Science Building of Cavite State University. The flowering plants found in the vicinity and around the site of the study were identified and listed. Pollen samples were collected twice a month. Thirty foragers were netted from h colony. Pollen pellets were collected from their corbiculae and acetolysed. Sample lens were identified, photographed and catalogued. Apis cerana foraged on 27 different pollen sources. Cocos nucifera L. and sa invisa L. pollen were the predominant pollen foraged by the bees with accurence frequency of 80%. The secondary sources were Leucaena leucocephala Am.) De Wit, Coffea sp., Helianthus annuus L. and two unknown species. Apis cerana exhibits pollen preference behavior. Its preferred pollen source is nucifera L. Cocos type pollen constitutes 40.70% of the total pollen load.
