Fenologia înfloririi plantelor melifere perene din Republica Moldova

Abstract

This study addressed the issue of nectar scarcity during certain periods. A proposal was made to establish a melliferous conveyor composed of plant species with high economic and apicultural potential, each with different blooming periods. The study identified perennial melliferous plant species with the highest nectar productivity and selected those most frequently visited by bees. The blooming periods of these selected species were determined, and the factors influencing their blooming times were analyzed. Based on this data, a phenological calendar was developed, which can be used to predict the blooming periods of melliferous plants and plan activities in the apiary accordingly.
