“…The determination of plant species with beekeeping importance was made through direct observations of bee foraging in the field and also based on the literature (Aguiar et al 2002;Pereira et al 2006;Santos et al 2006b;Vidal et al 2008;Marques et al 2011;Maia-Silva et al 2012;Nascimento et al 2014;Silva et al 2014b;Salis et al 2015;Salis et al 2017). Plant species with beekeeping importance were identified and grouped into a checklist with their respective floral resources (pollen/nectar/oil) identified based on the specialized literature (Pedro & Camargo 1991;Oliveira et al 1998;Aguiar et al 2002;Agostini & Sazima 2003;Aguiar et al 2003;Costa et al 2006;Machado & Lopes 2006;Pereira et al 2006;Santos et al 2006a;Santos et al 2006b;Viana et al 2006;Polatto et al 2007;Silva et al 2007;Vidal et al 2008;Mendonça et al 2008;Ramalho & Rosa 2010;Modro et al 2011;Moreira & Bragança 2011;Maia-Silva et al 2012;Nascimento et al 2014;Silva et al 2014a;Costa et al 2015;Salis et al 2015Salis et al , 2017Saturni et al 2015;Guimarães-Brasil et al 2017;Melo 2019;Pinto...…”

The aim of this study was to identify plant species visited by Apis mellifera L. in honey producing areas with typical Caatinga vegetation in the State of Bahia, as well as morphologically characterize pollen grains of the most representative species. Flowering specimens were collected from both areas, herborized, identified and deposited at the HUNEB herbarium. Analyses of floristic similarities were performed between eleven municipalities close to the study areas. Pollen was collected from all specimens, acetolyzed, measured, statistically analyzed, morphologically described, and photographed in light microscopy. Of the total of species recorded, 67.46 % were regarded as having beekeeping importance, with the richest botanical families being Fabaceae, Malvaceae and Asteraceae. Additionally, 37.5 % of the recorded species were herbs. The analyzed municipalities showed 84 % of floristic similarity. Of the total species recorded with visits by A. mellifera, 25.52 % had their pollen grains already described in the literature as monads, tetrads and polyads; isopolar, apolar and heteropolar; and mostly prolate spheroidal shape. Sizes varied from small to large, and the amb circular was predominant. The exine ornamentation was greatly diversified, varying from psilate to echinate. The obtained data corroborate the palynological knowledge of plants regarded as having beekeeping importance within the Caatinga.
