Monofloral bee pollen from Elaeis guineensis is a valuable apicultural product due to its nutrient composition and floral availability. This study characterised the chemical profile of oil palm bee pollen collected monthly over a year, from March 2016 to February 2017, in Bahia, Brazil. The analysis included total soluble protein (TSP), total soluble sugars (TSS), reducing sugars (RS), and sucrose (SUC). TSP ranged from 4.48% to 9.05%, and TSS varied from 11.80% to 46.88%. RS levels were stable (0.15%- 0.26%), while SUC content ranged from 5.84% to 9.90%. Although sucrose was predominant, protein levels were below the Brazilian standards, likely due to the use of the Bradford method. The findings indicate that E. guineensis pollen provides energy but may be nutritionally inadequate for honeybees if used exclusively. This highlights the necessity of floral diversity for colony health. The results also prompt consideration of protein digestibility and current analytical standards. These findings enhance the nutritional understanding of Arecaceae-derived pollen and inform apicultural practices in monoculture settings.
