MAPPING BEE FORAGE TREES

The possibilities of using the remote sensing data for bee forage mapping in the forest have been shown in the research. Finding the areas of nectar and pollen plants could help effective development of beekeeping. In the article was shown the analysis of different periods of remote sensing data acquisition for the most suitable mapping bee forage trees. The NDVI was calculated during the growing season from late April to the beginning of October. That index were fluctuating during the period of the research. The peak of the development of green mass period was defined for NDVI as the most suitable for the study and selection of different types of trees. As a result of the research, it was established that the determining location of bee forage trees based on remote sensing data provides the best result in combination of several NDVI images
