Melissopalynology of Melaka honey collected from various bee forms located in Perlis

The purpose of this study to isolate, identify and evaluate the pollen from honey of the stingless bee honey. In addition, it is possible to know the type of species through the pollen obtained from the sample. There were 2 commonly species which are Heterotrigona itama and Geniotriona thoracica. The honey collected from 10 different region in Perlis were isolated into the glass container. For the further research, Melissopalynological analysis conducted in this experiment. The pollens obtain from the honey sample were characterized and pollen count were carried out through the acetolysis test. The purpose of this study was none had done the research yet about Melissopalynological analysis in Perlis. Therefore, took the opportunity for doing this research as the final year project. The objectives of this study are to characterize types of honey based on the pollen found in the sample. The next objectives, were to count the pollen found in the honey sample. Based on the final result obtained through the research, the presence of 64 types of pollen from 39 distinct plant families was discovered in honey samples Three of the honey samples were unifloral honey, whereas the other seven were multifloral honey. Thus, the identification of various plants is important because they correspond to the production of honey and aid in the verification of honey origins.
