Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Bumble bees are essential, efficient pollinators of numerous crops, and scientists are increasingly concerned about their global decline. Although several potential causes have been put forward, the concurrent modification of landscape structure and pesticide use by agriculture are often pointed out as the main drivers of the decline. Yet, the

History of melissopalynological methods
Communications Faculty of Science University of Ankara Series C Biology Geological Engineering and Geophysical Engineering, 2018 Melissopalynology is a branch of palynology, that gives foreknowledge about the botanical and the geographical source of honey. Honey always contains various pollen grains and also honeydew elements (algae, fungal spores etc.) and these give information about the environment that honey comes from.

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Bee bread is the bee‐collected pollen with the mixture of honey and bee salivary enzymes, stored inside the bee hive. Malaysia has limited information on bee bread collected by the stingless bee Heterotrigona itama. Therefore, this study aims to determine the botanical origin and nutritional values of bee bread from H. itama.
