Pollen is a source of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals for honey bees, and pollen nutri- tion is important for bee health and winter survival. In this study, we investigated the pollen supply of honey bees in Danish landscapes with a view to elucidate the significance of the seasonal development and land use in the surrounding landscape. The report reviews the most important pollen sources (top 10) in each of 10 periods throughout the growing sea- son (April-October) as well as in landscapes with larger shares of agricultural land, urban areas, open nature, forest and water.
