All the 3 honey samples were found to be unifloral. WhileMangifera indica (68·7%) formed the predominant pollen type inApis cerana sample,Tridax procumbens (62%) andPhoenix sylvestris (61%) constituted the predominant pollen types inApis florea I and II samples respectively. Altogether 24 pollen types referable to 20 families have been recorded. Based on the absolute pollen counts, the 3 samples are referable to group V of International Commission for Bee Botany. Out of 160 pollen loads studied, 137 were found to be unifloral, while 23 were of the mixed type.
