Features: This book is suitable for a broad range of beekeepers, administrative personnel in beekeeping management departments, and faculty and students of relevant agricultural disciplines. It serves as an important reference for the rational development and utilization of China's nectar resources. It can also be used by researchers and professionals in botany, ecology, forestry, meteorology, phenology, and related fields. Nectar resources are the material foundation of beekeeping, and nectar information forecasting primarily refers to the prediction of flowering and nectar secretion dates and quantities of nectar-producing plants. Based on 30 years of research, the author introduces the fundamental theories and forecasting methods of beekeeping, nectar resources, information on nectar resources, and nectar information forecasting. The book focuses on the forecasting methods and effectiveness of nectar information for the nectar-producing plant—black locust, a key nectar source in northern China. It also covers the morphological characteristics, economic value, habitat, resource distribution, flowering and nectar secretion patterns, and nectar information forecasting of major introduced nectar-producing plants in China.
