The Honey Flora of Victoria (Fifth Edition), published by the Department of Agriculture, Victoria, is a comprehensive guide to the trees, shrubs and flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen for honey bees across Victoria. Prepared to assist beekeepers and apiarists, the book describes the distribution, flowering periods and honey-producing qualities of hundreds of native and introduced plant species, helping readers understand seasonal nectar flows and the relationship between vegetation and honey production. Combining practical beekeeping advice with botanical information, this long-running reference became an indispensable resource for Victorian apiarists and remains an important historical work on Australian bee forage and the state's natural flora.
