Abstract

The forest conversion into oil palm plantations in Belitung impacts the plant source for pollen and nectar to support the honey bee Apis dorsata. This study aimed to identify the plants used by A. dorsata as pollen sources in honey and bee bread in honey bee nests and to analyze the vegetation composition and structure surrounding the sunggau (artificial nesting site) in Belitung Regency. Honey from A. dorsata was collected from bee nests in sunggau on Kampak Island and Tanjung Rusa. The pollen grains from 20 ml honey were acetolysed and counted until 1,200 grains for each honey sample. In Kampak Island, we found eight pollen types in honey dominated by Rhizophora mucronate mangrove pollen and eleven pollen types in bee bread dominated by Melaleuca cajuputi. The pollen type in honey in Tanjung Rusa was similar to those in Kampak Island, and nine pollen types were found in the bee bread dominated by Elaeis guineensis. The vegetation analysis revealed that mangrove and heath forests in Kampak Island were dominated by Lumnitzera littorea and Melaleuca cajuputi, respectively. The results of this study confirm the bees' notable use of the mangrove ecosystem, which adds conservation value, especially in supporting bee management efforts in Belitung.

Abstract

Identifying floral resources used by honey bees and stingless bees is essential for sustainable beekeeping and understanding pollination ecology. This study compared the diversity of floral resources utilized by the honey bee Apis cerana and stingless bees Geniotrigona thoracica and Heterotrigona itama based on pollen in honey. Bee colonies were in the same Flora Nauli Beekeeping area, Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra, Indonesia, ensuring equal access to similar surrounding floral resources. Honey samples were collected, and pollen grains were extracted, acetolysed, and analyzed by counting 1,200 grains to determine frequency classes. Pollen diversity was calculated using the Shannon–Wiener index (H′). Stingless bee honey contained more diverse pollen than A. cerana, which only contained pollen from the Arecaceae family. Heterotrigona itama and G. thoracica honey contained pollen from 20 and 11 plant families, respectively. Each species had a distinct predominant pollen type (>45%): Cocos nucifera (A. cerana), Sapotaceae type (G. thoracica), and Casuarinaceae type (H. itama). A higher pollen diversity index was also observed in H. itama (1.05-1.83) than in G. thoracica (0.34–1.64) and A. cerana (0.66). These results indicate that stingless bees are more generalist than honey bees, highlighting their ecological role in supporting pollination networks in tropical agroecosystems.
