Influência das floradas de marmeleiro (Croton sonderianus) e angico-de-bezerro (Pityrocarpa monififormis) na produção de mel do município de São Raimundo Nonato - Piauí

Abstract

Currently, the municipality of São Raimundo Nonato, PI, which belongs to the Territory Integrated to the Serra da Capivara Park, has been standing out in the production of honey. Thus, the work aimed to analyze the contribution of the natural flowering of quince (Croton sonderianus) and calf angico (Pityrocarpa moniliformis) for honey production in the region of São Raimundo Nonato-PI. The survey of the information was carried out through an electronic questionnaire (google forms) with 13 objective questions of multiple choice. Honey is the main product sold in the municipality of São Raimundo Nonato-PI, followed by wax and, to a lesser extent, the sale of pollen. The analysis of annual honey production by beekeepers in the Serra da Capivara Territory, highlighted the annual production range of 20 to 30 kg. The resources offered by the flowering quince (Croton sonderianus) and calico angico (Pityrocarpa moniliformis), contribute to the development of rational beekeeping in the municipality.
