MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES BEE POLLEN SALIX L
Constancy morphological features of bee pollen of different plant species is a prerequisite for research of morphometric parameters lumps of pollen, collected by bees from productive pollen plants. The relevance of this direction research in beekeeping determines it possible to use the results obtained to improve industrial technologies receiving pollen and bee bread. The aim of research was to determine morphometric parameters lumps of pollen collected by bees from genus Salix L. Bee pollen samples were selected in Skvyra, Baryshevka, Rokytno, Ivankivtsi Kyiv region, Ukraine, from 01.04 to 04.15.16. Identification of bee pollen carried by pollen analysis, found - S. caprea L., S. aurita L., S. cinerea L. Morphometric measurements were performed in the laboratory Institute of preserving biodiversity and biosafety at Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra on the device: ANG 100C (Ахis), Zeiss SteREO Discovery V20, Nicolet 6700 FT-IR Spectrometer, Lovibond SP62 S/N 044929. For computer data processing used Ascension Waves Vision and Microsoft Office Excel - 2010. Established homogeneous lumps of pollen collected by bees from genus Salix L. typical of length - 2.92 ± 0.453 mm, width - 2.36 ± 0.444 mm, mass - 7.04 ± 2.045 mg. Color models monophloral bee pollen from genus Salix L. inherent parameters: L - 56.18 ± 0.345, a - 7.92 ± 0.210, b - 26.79 ± 0.368 units. The results of research make it possible to identify the botanical origin of bee pollen spectrometry method and can be used for evaluating the quality of bee pollen on morphometric parameters. In the future, necessary to conduct related research of bee pollen obtained from highly polliniferous species.
