Honeybees rely exclusively on pollen and nectar-producing plants for strengthening their colonies and manufacturing honey. Little is known about the indigenous melliferous flora of arid zones of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) which is crucial for honey production and how different pollen assessment techniques effect the identification of indigenous melliferous pollen flora. Visual survey and loads ensnaring through pollen traps were used to identify the botanical profile of melliferous pollen flora of Dera Ismail Khan (DIKhan), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The test time extended for two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. The study revealed 56 plant species as pollen flora with 18 significant pollen producing species in visual survey technique while 8 species as predominant flora in pollen trapping technique. The major pollen species found common in both the techniques were Brassica napus L., Brassica campestris L., Trifolium alaxandrinum L., Zea mays L., Acacia modesta L., Citrus aurantium L., Euclyptus spp., and Morus alba L. Pollen interception and palynological analysis of pollen were found to be more reliable techniques as compared to focal observations. More than fifty % differences were found by comparing the results of the visual survey and pollen trapping technique in major flora of DIKhan. Based on the availability, utility status and flowering duration of apiphilic flora, mid-February to mid-May was found to be a significant pollen flow period in the study area. Maximum benefit can be taken in this period through trapping ample amount of pollen and stored for using in artificial diets, selling and feeding bees during dearth period.

蜜蜂完全依靠花粉和花蜜生产植物来加强其菌落和生产蜂蜜。开伯尔·普赫图赫瓦省（KPK）干旱地区的本土有生虫科植物区系知之甚少，这对蜂蜜生产至关重要，不同的花粉评估技术如何影响对本土有生虫的花粉植物群的鉴定。通过目测和通过花粉陷阱诱捕的负载被用于确定开伯尔·普赫图赫瓦省德拉伊斯梅尔·汗（DIKhan）的带虫花粉植物区系的植物学特征。试验时间连续两年延长至2018年和2019年。研究发现，通过花粉调查技术，有56种植物为花粉菌群，其中18种是重要的花粉生产菌种，而8种是花粉诱集技术中的优势菌种。甘蓝型油菜大号，油菜大号。，红车轴alaxandrinum大号。，玉蜀黍大号。，相思Modesta的大号。，枳壳大号。，Euclyptus属。，和桑白皮大号。与集中观察相比，发现花粉截留和花粉的孢粉学分析是更可靠的技术。通过比较目视调查和花粉诱捕技术对DIKhan主要菌群的发现，发现差异超过50％。根据养蜂场的可用性，实用性状态和开花持续时间，发现2月中旬至5月中旬是研究区域的重要花粉流动期。在此期间，可以通过捕获足够数量的花粉并将其存储以供人工饮食，在贫瘠的时期出售和饲养蜜蜂来获得最大的收益。
