Abstract

The genus Trifolium L. is one of the most important genera of the family Fabaceae and for the honey bees. This agriculturally valuable genus is represented by 100 species in Turkey of which and 54 occur in Istanbul. In this study, 6 districts of Istanbul have been chosen where honey is produced by beekeepers and the plant sources were identified and kept in ISTE (the Herbarium of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Istanbul University) herbarium. According to our observations, Trifolium species are the favorite plants for honey bees in Istanbul. The pollen morphology of 16 Trifolium taxa have been examined using Wodehouse (1935) method.

Abstract

Trifolium cinsi hem Fabaceae familyası içinde, hem de bal arıları için en
önemli cinslerden biridir. Ekonomik değeri olan bu cins, 54’ü İstanbul’da
gözlenen, Türkiye’de 100 türle temsil edilir. Bu çalışmada İstanbul’un
arıcılık yapılan 6 ilçesi seçilerek bitkisel kaynakları teşhis edildi ve örnekler
ISTE (İstanbul Üniversitesi, Eczacılık Fakültesi Herbaryumu)’de koruma
altına alındı. Gözlemlerimize göre İstanbul’da bal arısının en sevdiği bitkiler
Trifolium türleridir.
