Microscopic analyses were conducted on pollen samples collected from the Narlidere, Cumalikizik, and Barakli localities of the Bursa province located in the Euro-Siberian phytogeographical region of Turkey. Samples collected from the areas mentioned above from May to September were first classified morphologically by their color and then prepared for microscopic analysis. The date at which pollens specific to a taxon emerged was accepted as the starting date of florescence, and it was assumed that the period of florescence was continuing as long as pollens could be observed. Pollen analysis was ended up with the identification of 54 taxa belonging to 31 different families in the Bursa area. The most common one among identified taxa were the members of the family Asteraceae (by 16 %). When plants were analyzed in terms of their periods of florescence, Cichorium intybus from the Cumalikizik area had the longest florescence period with 99 days while there were 19 other taxa from which bees could collect pollen only for 1 day. It was also found that the number of taxa in inflorescence was at a maximum (8 taxa) in the 21st (21-24 May) and 24th (11-14 June) weeks whereas it was at a minimum during 31st, 33rd and 35th weeks.Original Abstract: Tuerkiye'nin Avrupa-Sibirya fitocografik boelgesinde yeralan Bursa'nin, Narlidere, Cumalikizik ve Barakli bsolgelerinden toplanan polen oerneklerinin mikroskobik analizleri yapilmistir. Mayis ayindan Eyluel ayina kadar toplanan oernekler ilk olarak morfolojik bakimdan renklerine goere siniflandirilmis ve daha sonra mikroskobik analiz icin hazirlanmistir. Polenin ortaya ciktigi tarih, taksonun ciceklenme doeneminin baslangici olarak kabul edilmis ve polenin goezlenebildigi doenem ciceklenme periyodu olarak tesbit edilmistir. Bursa boelgesindeki polen analizi 31 farkli familyaya ait 54 taksonun bulunmasiyla sonuclanmistir. Bulunan taksonlardan en yaygini %16 ile Asteraceae familyasidir. Bitkiler ciceklenme doenemine goere analiz edildiginde Cumalikizik boelgesinden Cichorium intybus 99 guen ile en uzun ciceklenme doenemine sahipken diger 19 taksondan arilar sadece 1 guen polen toplayabilmistir. Ayni zamanda 8 taksonda maksimum ciceklenme zamani 21. (21-24 Mayis) ve 24. (11-14 Haziran) haftalarda bulunmustur. Bununla birlikte 31., 33. ve 35. haftalarda minimum ciceklenme zamani tespit edilmistir.
