This book is divided into 11 chapters. The first 7 chapters introduce the survey of nectar and pollen plant resources in China, phanerogam and bee pollination, nectary, nectar and honeydew, internal and external factors affecting honey secretion, the law and forecast of flowering and honey-secreting, cultivation, utilization and protection of nectar and pollen plants, bee-products and etc. In the last 4 chapters, 109 families (including 543 species) of nectar and pollen plants are described. Among them , there are 44 species of major nectar plants and 24 species of major pollen plants. More detailed description are given to these species about their morphological characteristics, niche distribution, habits of flowering and honey-secreting, managements of bee colonies, compositions of honey, and shapes and compositions of pollens. This book also contains 466 species of main auxiliary nectar and pollen plants, 9 species of main poisonous nectar and pollen plants. Their morphological characteristics, niche distribution, pollen shapes and physical and chemical properties and bee-keeping value are briefly introduced. To make it convenient for readers to recognize and utilize nectar and pollen plants, this book attaches in it 114 colour pictures, 471 black-and-white pictures and 506 pictures of ultramictroscopic structures of pollen shapes by scanning electron microscope.
