Pollen is the only protein source for the honey bee colony. Its nutritional quality varies according to the floral origin. The total protein content is a very important information in many research fields. Nevertheless its interpretation may be falsified by the sugars which are the main component of pollen pellets. In this paper we provide a database containing sugar and nitrogen content of 40 different pollen types.

Abstract

Pollen is the only protein source for the honey bee colony. Its nutritional quality varies according to the floral origin. The total protein content is a very important information in many research fields. Nevertheless its interpretation may be falsified by the sugars which are the main component of pollen pellets. In this paper we provide a database containing sugar and nitrogen content of 40 different pollen types.
