Floral preferences of Apis mellifera: a study in two areas of the Silípica Department (Santiago del Estero, Argentina)

The beekeeping activity is closely related to the environment, being the flora a fundamental component that provides resources to the hive.

Beekeeping flowering curve honey flora rewards Apicultura curva de floración flora melífera recompensas The beekeeping activity is closely related to the environment, being the flora a fundamental component that provides resources to the hive. Determining the availability of resources is essential for its planning. We proposed to evaluate the supply of bee flora and Apis mellifera preference in apiaries in irrigated and rainfed areas of the department of Silípica. We sampled every 15-21 days around six apiaries (three in each area) during 2017-2019. A total of 206 bee species were recorded (140 in irrigated and 135 in rainfed), predominantly Asteraceae and Fabaceae. Native species stood out (74% irrigated, 93% rainfed), with a greater presence of herbs (45% irrigated and 32% rainfed), with respect to trees (12% irrigated and 29% rainfed) and shrubs (23% irrigated and 19% rainfed). In both areas there was a predominance of species with medium and low levels of abundance-cover. The supply, mainly nectariferous-polliniferous, extends throughout the year, with peaks of maximum flowering in spring-summer and minimums between June-July. Few are “very preferred” (16% irrigated and 17% rainfed). This study enriches the provincial bibliography on bee species, available resources and flowering seasons. In addition, it presents unpublished data on abundance-cover, preferences of A. mellifera and flowering calendar through temporal sampling of the local flora. La actividad apícola está íntimamente relacionada al ambiente, siendo la flora un componente fundamental que aporta recursos a la colmena. Determinar la disponibilidad de recursos es esencial para su planificación. Nos propusimos evaluar la oferta de la flora apícola y preferencia de Apis mellifera en apiarios en áreas de riego y secano del departamento Silípica. Realizamos muestreos cada 15-21 días alrededor de seis apiarios (tres en cada área) durante el 2017-2019. Se registraron un total de 206 especies apícolas (140 en riego y 135 en secano), predominando Asteraceae y Fabaceae. Destacaron especies nativas (74% riego, 93% secano), con mayor presencia de hierbas (45% riego y 32% secano), respecto de árboles (12% riego y 29% secano) y arbustos (23% riego y 19% secano). En ambas áreas predominaron especies con niveles medios y bajos de abundancia-cobertura. La oferta, principalmente nectaríferopolinífera, se extiende todo el año registrándose picos de máxima floración en primavera-verano y mínimas entre junio-julio. Pocas son “muy preferidas” (16% riego y 17% secano). Este estudio enriquece la bibliografía provincial sobre especies apícolas, recursos disponibles y épocas de floración. Además, presenta datos inéditos sobre abundancia-cobertura, preferencias de A. mellifera y calendario de floración mediante muestreos temporales de la flora local.
