Description

Quantitative analysis of pollen grain composition in bee provisions using compound microscopy. Pollen samples stained with fuchsin and examined at 100× magnification with systematic transect counting to determine taxonomic composition.

Typical Equipment

  • compound microscope
  • fuchsin stain
  • microscope slides

Output Measurements

  • pollen grain counts
  • taxonomic composition
  • Taraxacum usage proportion
