Abstract

KHDTK Kepau Jaya is a lowland peat swamp forest that has unique composition plants. The plants that compose peat swamp forest have the potential as a source of food for Trigona spp. But bee feed plants have not been managed properly. The purpose of this research is to find out the plants that compose the peat swamp forest of KHDTK Kepau Jaya which has the potential as a source of food for Trigona spp. Data is collected by the plant inventory method.
