Abstract

Flowering period lenght of medicinal honey plants, which depends on weather conditions, later impacts the seed quality. Research of seven medicinal honey plants, conducted during 2013, showed that the beginning of the flowering time was delayed for several days which, in compare to the possible beginning and lenght of the flowering, shortened honey bee pasture period. There was only exception from thih case and that was the flowering of marshmallow (earlier beginning and later ending of flowering in compare to the possible beginning and lenght of the flowering period). For the needs of seed quality determination, authors researched the following: germination energy (GE), total germination (TG) and 1000 - seed weight.
