Diagnosis of the melliferous forestry component present in the forest of the Agroforestry Experimental Station of Guisa
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study shows the forestal melliferous component diagnosis in the Agroforestal Experimental Station forest in Guisa, an aspect that will allow as developing actions directed to the species diversification so that the flowers permanency is guaranteed during the whole year. As the main result we obtained that in the area there is a high melliferous potential conformed by 61 species representing the 58 % of the total identified, with a period of very intense flowering from January to June, and a significant decrease of this process during the second semester of the year. The study also threw that the 11% of the melliferous species exists in an abundant way, 14 % in a fairly abundant and a 75 % are scarce, demonstrating there is necessity to develop a forest enrichment program with the melliferous species that flourish in the 3ed and 4th trimester of the year to guarantee the availability of nectar in this period and in this way the sustainable production of honey.
