KEANEKARAGAMAN JENIS PAKAN LEBAH MADU HUTAN (Apis spp) DI KAWASAN HUTAN LINDUNG DESA ENSA, KECAMATAN MORI ATAS, KABUPATEN MOROWALI UTARA
Abstract: Research on the
species diversity of food source trees for forest honey bee (Apis spp) has been
conducted on protected forest at Ensa Village, Mori Atas Sub District, Mori
Utara District. The reasearch aimed at
studying food source trees composition along with their diversity indeces for
the honey bee. The method used to analyse
those vegetation was blocked line transect with sampling intensity of 6.25%
covering an area of 16 ha that divided into five lines each with five
observation plots. The results of the
research showed that there were 490 individuals from 43 species, 34 families,
within which it was identified that 35 species from 30 families out of the are
being food source trees for the honey bee.
The parts of the tree that is used as food were nectar and polen of tree
flowers. The diversity indeces (H’) for
those species at tree, pole, sappling and seedling level, respectively, of 2.90, 2.94, 3.22, and 2.84. As such, based on the identied indeces, the diversity at tree, pole and seedling
level are categorized as medium (1H’≤3) while for sappling level was high (H’≥3). Overall, the species diversity for food
source trees at the protected forest are abundantly available.
