This study aims to determine the diversity of melliferous plants and to recognize the state of beekeeping in the Fez-Meknes region in Morocco. We conducted a questionnaire for beekeepers that set up their hives in the prefectures and provinces of the region, and we have studied the pharmacological evidence of the most preferred plants by beekeepers to assess its medicinal values. The results indicate that honey, bee pollen, bee bread, royal jelly, propolis, bee wax, bee venom, and bee queens are produced in this region with different percentages, and 102 plants belonging to 32 families were obtained in the inventory of melliferous plants; the most represented families were Asteraceae and Lamiaceae (13.73% each) followed by Rosaceae (8.82%). Among these 102 plants identified, 79 plants provide nectar and pollen for bees, 16 plants provide only pollen, 3 plants provide only nectar, 35 plants are resinous, and 6 plants provide honeydew for bees. The outcome of this study will contribute to the valuation of melliferous plants and help to establish a practical guide for the development of the beekeeping sector as an agricultural economic approach.
本研究旨在确定摩洛哥菲斯-梅克内斯地区的蜜源植物多样性，并了解该地区的养蜂状况。我们为在该地区各县和省设置蜂箱的养蜂人设计了一份问卷，并研究了养蜂人最喜爱的植物的药理学证据，以评估其药用价值。结果表明，该地区生产不同比例的蜂蜜、蜂花粉、蜂粮、蜂王浆、蜂胶、蜂蜡、蜂毒和蜂王，在蜜源植物清单中获得了 102 种属于 32 科的植物；其中最具代表性的科是菊科和唇形科（各占 13.73%），其次是蔷薇科（8.82%）。在所鉴定的 102 种植物中，有 79 种为蜜蜂提供花蜜和花粉，16 种仅提供花粉，3 种仅提供花蜜，35 种是树脂状的，6 种为蜜蜂提供蜜露。这项研究的结果将有助于对蜜源植物进行评估，并有助于制定养蜂业作为农业经济手段发展的实用指南。
