Pollinic analysis carried out on samples of honey harvested between 2009 and 2010 from natural beehives located in some parts of zones ecologic IV and V of the Guinean Zone of Togo: Danyi-Elavanyo, Danyi-Akayo, Igblélékoutsè-Béna and Azianfokopé has permitted to obtain 3625 grains of pollen which are grouped in 82 different types of pollen of melliferous plants; only 43 of them have been identified up to species level. Elaeis guineensis’s pollens are the most abundant and the only one found in all the samples of honey analysed. As a whole, the “Arboreal Pollens” are more represented than the “Non Arboreal Pollens” namely 87% against 23%. This study has been done to enrich the palynologic data bank of Togo which was very poor. Besides, the photo of some determined pollens has been presented. The pictures have been taken with a light microscope, followed with their numerisation by a photomicroscope equipped with a camera, a computer and the softwares Quancoul and Motic Images Plus 2.0.
