Exploring palynological diversity of Some concrete Honey Bee Forage Plants in North-Eastern Himalayas, India

Pollen taxonomy is required to compare the pollen in honey samples in melissopalynological studies. Pollen taxonomy, which involves classifying and identifying pollen grains, is crucial for various aspects of pollen study. The present study was undertaken from August 2023 to December 2023 in Jorhat district of Assam, India. The pollen morphology of 33 different flowering plant species belonging to 18 families have been carried out, and variations in shape, symmetry, exine structure sculpture, etc., have been found. In this study, 12.12% are tree species, 54.54% are herb species, and 33.33% are shrub species.
