Pasturage refers to the availability of flowering plants and trees in a particular area that provide nectar and pollen for honeybees. It plays a crucial role in honey production, as the quantity and quality of honey depend on the type of flowers available to the bees.
Relation to Honey Production:
- Quality of Honey – The flavor, color, and medicinal properties of honey depend on the type of flowers bees collect nectar from (e.g., litchi honey, sunflower honey).
- Honey Yield – Abundant and diverse pasturage ensures a higher supply of nectar, leading to increased honey production.
