Pollen analysis of honey from north-eastern Croatia

Abstract

Sixty honey samples from different parts of the north-eastern Croatia were examined for pollen content and pollen share. In total, 84 different pollen grains were identified belonging to 40 families. The most represented families in the honey are: Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Rosaceae. Forty samples are unifloral and twenty are multifloral. Twenty six samples of unifloral honey are from Black locust, twelve from Rapeseed, and two from Lime tree. Honey samples contain 9-25 different types of pollen. Dominant pollen types are Brassicaceae and Robinia pseudacacia.
