Melissopalynology Beekeepers' Guide for Identification Pollen of Honey
Melissopalynology is the scientific study of pollen in honey, specifically where the pollen is coming from! What flowers did my bees stick their little faces into, to produce the Spring Honey I pulled off them earlier in the year? I have a go at using this new beekeeping book, 'Beekeepers' Guide For Pollen Identification Of Honey', written by scientific author Mohammad El-Labban. It's a practical book for Beekeepers with step by step instructions on how to extract pollen sediments from their honey and identify those samples under the microscope. It is proving to be a very resourceful book. Seeing as I have never used a microscope before, (other than to peer down one at Honey Shows) I thought it might be about time to go and invest in one and have a crack at Melissopalynology! My eyes have been opened! Now I'm hooked & want to share my experience with the wider Beekeeping Community on You Tube. I had to get the following equipment to be able to test my honey.
