本研究于2015年和2016年连续两年在Sakha农业研究站、ARC、Kafrelsheikh的养蜂研究科和Kafrelsheikh省的其他养蜂场进行。本研究旨在调查Kafrelsheikh省的花蜜和花粉资源。全年录得花蜜源植物33科97种，花粉源植物36科82种。月捕获花粉量最大的是5月，其次是8月。综上所示，Kafrelsheikh省养蜂人在3 - 4月柑橘（Citrusspp.）、5 - 6月埃及三叶草（Trifolium alexandrinumL.）、6 - 10月丝瓜（Luffa aegyptiacaMill.）、7 - 8月棉花（Gossypiumspp.）和8 - 9月香蕉（Musaspp.）花期结束时可获得较好的蜂蜜产量。它们还可以捕获1 - 3月期间从蚕豆（Vicia fabaL.）和亚麻（Linum usitatissimumL.）、3 - 4月期间从枣椰树（Phoenix dactylifal .）、5 - 6月期间从埃及三叶草（Egyptian clover）、6 - 7月期间从夏籽西瓜（Citrullus lanatusvar. colthynthoidesl .）、6 - 11月期间从丝瓜和玉米（Zea maysL.）收集的花粉。
This study was conducted at the apiary of the Beekeeping Research Section at the Sakha Agricultural Research Station, ARC, Kafrelsheikh, and other apiaries in Kafrelsheikh province, during two successive years 2015 and 2016. The study aimed to survey nectar and pollen floral resources in Kafrelsheikh province. Ninty seven plant species belonging to 33 families were recorded as nectar sources, and 82 plant species belonging to 36 families were recorded as pollen sources during the whole year. The largest amount of monthly trapped pollen was obtained during May followed by August. It can be concluded that, beekeepers in Kafrelsheikh province can harvest good honey yield at the end of blooming seasons of citrus (Citrusspp.) during March and April, Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinumL.) during May and June, loofah (Luffa aegyptiacaMill.) during June to October, cotton (Gossypiumspp.) during July and August, and banana (Musaspp.) during August and September. They also, could be trapping pollen loads collected from faba bean (Vicia fabaL.) and flax (Linum usitatissimumL.) during January to March, date palm (Phoenix dactyliferaL.) during March and April, Egyptian clover during May and June, summer seed watermelon (Citrullus lanatusvar.colothynthoidesL.) during June and July, loofah and maize (Zea maysL.) during June to November.
