Abstract: The quantity and kinds of pollens in eight honeys were identified and the feasibility of assistant basis on their producing area and quality were discussed according to pollen morphologic characters. Pollens extracted from eight kinds of honeys were decomposed in vinegar-anhydride and observed under light microscope, morphology characters described, pollen sizes measured and the claimed pollen percentage calculated. Impurity pollens were observed in a given honey besides the main one, which proportions were varied in every honey, and the main pollens from each honey had its own identified character. The morphology characters and the proportion of the main pollens could be an index to estimate the quality of honey productions, but it is difficult to trace the original producing area as to some honeys.
