		Melissopalynology is the study of pollen in honey.
		Third, he recognized that if bees were trapped on their return to the hive, the pollen recovered from the nectar in their honey stomach would identify the foraging areas being utilized by the hive.
		What is needed most in the field of melissopalynology is a new series of tests to determine the precise PC values that can be used with certainty for validating the floral sources of premium types of honey.

	Palynology Summary
		Melissopalynology is the study of pollen in honey, with the purpose of identifying the source plants used by bees in the production of honey.
		Melissopalynology - the study of pollen and spores found in honey.
		Because the distribution of acritarchs, chitinozoans, dinoflagellate cysts, pollen and spores provides evidence of stratigraphical correlation through biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, one common and lucrative application of palynology is in oil and gas exploration.

	CAP Article: Pollen Contents of Honey
		Betts (1923, 1925) made sketches of 15 different kinds of pollen sources found in English honey types and she suggested that flowers from herbarium specimens could be used as a source of pollen to make comparative reference samples.
		One of the primary goals of Todd and Vansell (1942) was to determine how effectively honeybees could remove pollen from their honey stomachs, how long that pollen removal process took, and if all pollen types were removed equally well by the filtering process of a bee's honey stopper.
		Even the research conducted by Demianowicz (1961, 1964), which is among the best studies of APC and PC values yet completed because she used caged bees that ate a restricted diet, there are flaws in her technique which could have altered her results.

		By studying the pollen in a sample of honey, it is possible to gain evidence of the geographical location and genus of the plants that the honey bees visited, although honey may also contain airborne pollens from anemophilous plants, spores, and dust due to attraction by the electrostatic charge of bees.
		Generally, melissopalynology is used to combat fraud and inaccurate labelling of honey.
		Information gained from the study of a given sample of honey (and pollen) is useful when substantiating claims of a particular source for the sample.

		As long as the moisture content remains under 18% nothing will grow in honey.
		The study of pollens and spores in raw honey (Melissopalynology) can determine floral sources of the honey.
		Because bees carry an electrostatic charge, and can attract other particles, the same techniques of Melissopalynology can be used in area environmental studies of radioactive particles, dust, or particulate pollution.

		Sediment complexes from the Arctic to the Antarctic became object of investigation, covering in terms of age almost the entire geochronological table.
		The importance of this method for melissopalynology, aeropalynology (including allergology), and criminology is past dispute.
		All these multifarious aspects of application of the pollen analysis require a high degree of knowledge of the pollen, of its morphological characteristics and characteristic diagnostic features and, respectively, of its proper identification, in order to achieve a high degree of reliability in the interpretations and conclusion.

		One problem is the lack of complete sedimentation of the pollen from honey samples owing to centrifugation of too concentrated a solution for too short a time at too low a centrifuge speed.
		The other problem with recommended melissopalynology procedures is a lack of insistence that all samples be subjected to an acetolysis procedure.
		The apicultural and botanical factors involved are described, together with a survey of foreign honeys based on the analysis of 128 recent samples.

		Technical Abstract: One of the goals of melissopalynology is to determine the floral resources utilized by honeybees in the production of honey.
		Because some types of commercial honey are preferred over others, the preferred types are in high demand and are sold at much higher prices.
		We have examined the historical development of PC values, the reliability of using PC data, the flaws inherent in the development of various types of PC data, and the steps we believe are needed to formulate new PC values that will be reliable and will be universally accepted for the verification of honey types.

		Melissopalynology in Brazil: a review of pollen analysis of honeys, propolis and pollen loads of bees
		This paper reviews current knowledge on the occurrence of several types of pollen grains in the sediments of honey samples, propolis and bee loads of Apiinae and Meliponinae in Brazil.
		After a short historical introduction about research activities in Melissopalynology using Brazilian samples, bee products were analyzed in respect to the greater Brazilian regions (South, Southeast, Northeast and North), emphasizing monofloral honeys and the green propolis.

	Proceedings of the 9th International Palynological Congress
		The program was divided into 30 symposia and topical sessions, and this proceedings volume certainly reflects the diversity, if perhaps not the sheer volume, of subject matter presented and discussed during the Congress.
		The field of palynology spans an incredibly wide and diverse variety of technical disciplines and scientific applications, from melissopalynology and forensic palynology in the modern world to the deliniation of paleoclimates and the reconstruction of fossil floras in early geologic time.
		We trust that the variety of papers contained in this volume provides an accurate measure of the impact that palynology has made in the past, as well as an indication of its expanding role in the future.
