Description
Quantitative analysis of pollen grain composition in bee provisions using compound microscopy. Pollen samples stained with fuchsin and examined at 100× magnification with systematic transect counting to determine taxonomic composition.
Typical Equipment
- compound microscope
- fuchsin stain
- microscope slides
Output Measurements
- pollen grain counts
- taxonomic composition
- Taraxacum usage proportion
