dc.description.abstractAspects of the pollination biology of Allanblackia stuhlmannii were investigated on four selected trees in Amani Nature Reserve. This study aimed at identifying the actual pollinators of Allanblackia stuhlmannii. Methods used included visual observations by recording the activities of visitors to the flowers and checking the presence or absence of pollen adhering on their bodies. Meliponula sp. was identified as the actual pollinators while, Apis mellifera and Formicidae were confirmed to be nectar- feeders. Sunbirds and Sphingids could not be proven so on their roles. Findings of this study suggest habitat conservation so as to keep intact natural habitat which increase abundance and diversity of pollinators. It is recommended that further studies be undertaken on sunbirds and sphingids to determine whether or not they are also pollinators.en_US
