Description
Summary:In the present paper, there is offered a synthesis of the experimental data obtained though different research projects in the period 2002-2009 with respect to the melliferous characteristics of the sunflower crop that should be known by the beekeepers practicing the pastoral beekeeping. Thus, there have been presented the following: the period and duration of flowering process at different sunflower hybrids; the potential honey yield at different sunflower hybrids; the climatic conditions (rainfall and temperature) that affect the melliferous potential and their effect; self-fertility and its relationship with honey production; the gain in seed yield obtained through pollination by the help of melliferous bees.
