In this issue, original research relating to pollination ecology, pollen germination aspects, floral rewards of rock honey bee, feeding ecology of blister beetle and palyno-flora from coalfield sediments have been included. The work presented in this issue is very valuable for practical considerations to take certain measures for the perpetuation of the plant and animal species discussed by different authors.
