Popis:	The aim of this study was to estimate the polleniferous potential of the most common plant communities and crops across the landscape through the study of pollen loads collected by Apis mellifera. We analysed pollen load samples from hives located in Mallorca (western Mediterranean) for one year and compared the results with a phytosociological study of the foraging area. We also analysed meteorological data to evaluate the influence of some environmental factors on the pollen production phenology. We identified 74 different pollen types (66.2% from native flora, 25.7% from exotic flora, and 8.1% from crops) belonging to 33 families. The highest polleniferous potentials in the landscape were attained by sclerophyllous forests (Quercetea ilicis) in spring, crops in autumn, wild annual rangelands (Stellarietea mediae) in winter and gardens in late summer. Our results suggest that the higher the coverage present in a vegetation class, the higher the quantity and diversity of pollen that may be provid...
