Abstract
The diversity of plant species present in ecosystems is critical to the preservation of pollinator species and especially bees because they depend directly on the supply of pollen and nectar. The pollen spectra of propolis is an indicator of the vegetation existing in certain biogeographic area and it evidences in some way the relation plant-insect in the search for livelihood resources for the bee colonies. We evaluated five red propolis samples collected in San Andres Island (Colombia) to determine the frequency and pollen types present. The samples underwent separation and concentration, as well as sediment analysis by acetolysis. The work allowed the recognition of 46 pollen types from 29 botanical families, predominantly Cyperus haematodes, Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erectus, Dalbergia brownei, Laguncularia racemosa, Rhizophora mangle, Sesuvium portulacastrum, Cocos nucifera, and Spondias mombin and other less important types, such as Morinda citrifolia, revealed through their pollen frequencies. The families with the highest number of pollen types present corresponded to Acanthaceae, Aizoaceae, Arecaceae, Combretaceae, and Rhizophoraceae. These results represent one of the first pollen analysis in Colombian propolis.
