CAMPOMAYOR, JED PAMPLONA, April 2016. “POLLEN PREFERENCE AND NECTAR SOURCES OF NATIVE STINGLESS BEES 7, etragonula biroi IN SELECTED BARANGAYS OF INDANG, CAVITE ''. An Undergraduate thesis B.S. Biology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, Adviser: Michele T. Bono
This study was conducted to: identify the plants foraged by 7. biroi for pollen source in three selected barangays of Indang, Cavite; identify the pollen preference of the native stingless bees 7. biroi;, differentiate the pollen preference of the native Stingless bees 7. biroi in three selected barangays of Indang, Cavite; and to determine the pollen dominance in the three selected barangays of Indang, Cavite. Two stingless bee colonies were placed in each site.
A survey of plants within the 1 km radius from the location of the hives was done. A total of 30 plant species were observed in the three selected barangays of Indang, Cavite namely Agus-os, Mataas na Lupa and Daine with Musa sapientum as the highest number of plant species and was followed by Cocos nucifera and Ananas camosus. A total of 11 pollen species belonging to eight families were identified. C. nucifera has the highest percentage of pollen observed in Brgy. Agus-0s and Mataas na Lupa, while Coffea arabica has the highest percentage of pollen observed in Brgy. Daine. Cocos nucifera pollen was the only predominant pollen of the 11 species comprising 51.49 percent of the total pollen count. This showed that the pollen of Cocos nucifera was the most preferred pollen species of the native stingless bees T. biroi.
