This study aimed to explore the systematic details of the Fabaceae family and their melliferous features. Pollen morphological diversity was studied using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. In this study, 15 fabaceous melliferous plants were analyzed. Systematically, all the Fabaceae pollen had no spines, psilate sculpturing, tricolporate, polyads, monads, prolate-spheroidal, and oblate-spheroidal shapes. 85.55 mu m polar diameter was the highest in Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth, the minimum was observed as 13.84 mu m in Alhagi maurorum Medik. The maximum fertility rate observed was 88% in Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, whereas the minimum observed was 74% in Vicia sativa L. All the Fabaceous plants were identified as melliferous due to the consistent visits of honeybees. Exploration of bee flora helps identify honey's botanical and geographical origin and production. The study area is suitable for beekeeping businesses and honey production because of its maximum floral diversity. This research is very informative for beekeepers and apiculturists to manage their beekeeping businesses and professions. The bee floral plants should be cultivated to increase honey production.
