The growing beekeeping industry in South Korea has led to the establishment of new honey plant complexes. However, studies on honey production from each species are limited. This study aimed to assess the honey production potential of various cultivars and two wildflower species. The nectar characteristics of varied significantly among the cultivars. Absolute sugar concentrations differed among the cultivars, but sugar composition ratios were similar. In contrast, the amino acid content remained relatively uniform regarding percentage values, irrespective of the absolute concentrations. Estimations of honey potential production per hectare (kg/ha) resulted in the following ranking among cultivars: 'JM7003' (107.1) > 'YS' (73.0) > 'JM7001' (63.7) > 'TL' (52.7) > 'TM' (42.4). The nectar volume of var. and increased during the flowering stage. var. was sucrose-rich and was sucrose-dominant. Both species predominantly contained phenylalanine, var. had glutamine as the second most abundant amino acid, and had tyrosine. The honey production potential was 152.4 kg/ha for var. and 151.3 kg/ha for . These findings provide a basis for identifying food resources for pollinators and selecting plant species to establish honey plant complexes.
韩国养蜂业的不断发展促使了新的蜜源植物综合体的建立。然而，针对每个物种蜂蜜产量的研究有限。本研究旨在评估不同品种和两种野花的蜂蜜生产潜力。不同品种间花蜜特性差异显著。各品种的绝对糖浓度不同，但糖组成比例相似。相比之下，无论绝对浓度如何，氨基酸含量的百分比值相对一致。对每公顷蜂蜜潜在产量（千克/公顷）的估算结果显示，各品种排名如下：“JM7003”（107.1）＞“YS”（73.0）＞“JM7001”（63.7）＞“TL”（52.7）＞“TM”（42.4）。在开花期，[品种名1]变种和[品种名2]的花蜜量增加。[品种名1]变种富含蔗糖，[品种名2]以蔗糖为主。两个物种主要都含有苯丙氨酸，[品种名1]变种第二丰富的氨基酸是谷氨酰胺，[品种名2]则是酪氨酸。[品种名1]变种的蜂蜜生产潜力为152.4千克/公顷，[品种名2]为151.3千克/公顷。这些发现为确定传粉者的食物资源以及选择植物物种来建立蜜源植物综合体提供了依据。
