Abstract
Analysis of pollen and honeydew elements was performed on 29 honey samples, most of which were collected in 1983, from the province of Manitoba, Canada. Almost all of the honeys studied were unifloral with three pollen types, Brassicaceae (mustard family, canola), Meliloius spp. (sweet clover) and Lotus corniculatus (bird's-foot trefoil), predominating. ‘Secondary’ pollens, are represented by Melilotus spp., Brassicaceae (others), Trifolium hybridum/T. repens (alsike clover/white clover), Fagopyrum esculentum (buckwheat), Lotus corniculatus and Helianthus annum (sunflower). Honeydew elements were present in very small quantities. Several regional characteristics are shown.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
