Abstract
The research of the flora of islands and islets in The National Park Kornati has been performed by the author during last about 30 years. Research in this article comprises islands Piškera and Lavsa, and islets Gustac near Blitvica, Blitvica, Veseljuh, Vela and Mala Panitula. The aim of the study was to single out honey plants of the flora of those islands/islets because on island Piškera there is a stationary apiary with 30 communities. The flora of honey plants of these islands and islets comprises 116 taxa (104 species, 10 subspecies, one variety and one species of the genus Tamarix) from 42 plants families. With their taxa abundance families Fabaceae (16 taxa), Lamiaceae (15 taxa) and Rosaceae (12 taxa) stand out. Species Salvia officinalis L. and Clematis flammula L. (nectar-rich) and Pistacia lentiscus L., Quercus ile L., Cistus salviifolius L. and Olea europaea L. (pollen-rich) overgrow big surfaces on the investigated area and make a rich bee pasture.
