The collected data is processed, the results are mapped. Thus, the overall picture can be obtained on the condition of flowering plants in the area to determine the exact place as the center of apiculture.

E. Typical flower honey
Quality of honey depends on the flowers honey producers. Judging from the types of flowers the bees are a source of food, there are several types of flower honey. Honey sembung, derived from Vernonia arvborea sembung interest. Honey brown, thick, petrified quickly (there are lumps in the sugar) and can be stored longer. Honey or kapok kapok (Ceiba pentandra), yellow-brown, rather thick, quite tasty, and can be stored longer. Java kapok honey season lasts from May to late July. Of the total production of honey collected by beekeepers East Java, 75% is contributed by kapok flower honey Honey durian (Durio zibethimus), yellow, watery, and sometimes it feels a bit bitter. Honey orange (Citrus sp.), Yellow, watery, and sometimes it feels a bit bitter. Honey coffee (Coffea sp.), Dark red, watery, and it tastes good, and can be retained for long. Honey dadap (Erythria sp.), Colored dark red, watery, and the taste. Honey coconut (Cocos nucifera) and palm (Arenga piñata), dark brown, watery, and it was a bit sour. This honey bercendawan fast decay if stored in damp places. This fungus can be reduced if pre-recorded, honey preheated at a temperature between 55-60oC for eight hours. eucalyptus honey, produced in Australia in the natural forests of eucalyptus. The plant is a good honey producers because of high nectar sugar content. Pollen is a protein source for bees, which affect the level of culture and the life of bees. Honey forest, usually derived from the types of flowers such as sembung and kesambi. Honey yellow color, somewhat thick, and taste good.
F. Depending Management
The extent of the honey crop is highly dependent on the management and the number of plants that honey contains a lot of interest around the center of beekeeping.In KUD Stone has 625 colonies of bees, honey outcome could reach 25 tons. The new number is 75% from the target of 33 tons per year. The average honey production is measure 40 KUD Stone kg per stup per year. This production is much higher than average, ratan produsi other beekeepers are only about 14-20 kg per stup, even with only 8 kg per stup.Readiness factor in harvest honey bees determine the amount of production, but this is often overlooked breeder. Readiness bee colonies supported by a number of worker bees in a stup. Bee colonies in order to be better prepared, the less productive the queen bee needs to be replaced and feed supply enough reserves available. If this important step is done, the risk of failure will be reduced honey crop.Beekeepers in the area that has plants that bloom throughout the year or any kind of flowering in turn, potentially as a honey-producing areas are ongoing throughout the year. Examples of this region is the coffee or cotton plantation adjacent to the oil, or coffee or cotton plantations adjacent to forests. In coconut plantations or areas close to forests, bees can get food in sufficient quantities throughout the year. Beekeepers here does not need to be moved somewhere to develop bees. Honey harvest takes place during the spring of cotton or coffeeHoney can be made into a viscous liquid with the store for two weeks in the lime life near atu drying sema week in the panic that dried in the sun. Honey stored in airtight containers to prevent acidity
