Abstract

Samples from Apis dorsata and Apis florea honeys were collected during the years 2017 and 2022 and subjected to melissopalynological analysis. The findings highlight the utility of melissopalynology in determining botanical and geographical origins of honeys. It was also useful in detecting adulteration, classification and consumer satisfaction.
