The Yucatan Peninsula (YP) is one of the most important regions in global apiculture. Hence, this work reviews and integrates the knowledge of the species diversity, growth habits, ecosystems, floral calendars during the apiculture production cycles and the types of vegetation represented in the melliferous flora (MF) of the YP; as a basis for proposing selection strategies locating suitable apiculture production areas for local beekeepers and help in the economic development of the region. A comprehensive review of the MF literature was carried out using the snowball method to determine and update the number of species useful for apiculture. The growth habits and flower calendars were determined through a review of the literature and databases of specimens from the herbaria CICY, UCAM and MEXU. The YP reports a total of 935 taxa of MF (98 families and 498 genera); of these, Campeche has 812 taxa, followed by Quintana Roo (786) and Yucatán (767). The MF is made up of herbs (282), followed by shrubs (260), trees (229), climbers (82), woody climbers (67) palms (14) and parasitic plant (1). Of the 935 species of MF registered at the regional level, a high number of species have flowering throughout the year, however, not all of these species are considered useful for local commercial apiculture. Only a select group of 23 species are considered of major importance for local apiculture industry.

基于蜂蜜生产周期对墨西哥尤卡坦半岛的芳香植物区系进行回顾

尤卡坦半岛（YP）是全球养蜂业最重要的地区之一。因此，这项工作回顾并整合了养蜂生产周期中的物种多样性、生长习性、生态系统、花卉日历以及 YP 的芳香植物区系 (MF) 中代表的植被类型的知识；作为提出选择策略的基础，为当地养蜂人寻找合适的养蜂产区，并帮助该地区的经济发展。使用滚雪球法对 MF 文献进行了全面审查，以确定和更新对养蜂有用的物种数量。通过查阅 CICY、UCAM 和 MEXU 植物标本馆的文献和标本数据库来确定生长习性和花历。 YP 共报告了 935 个 MF 分类群（98 科 498 属）；其中，坎佩切州有 812 个类群，其次是金塔纳罗奥州 (786) 和尤卡坦州 (767)。 MF 由草本植物 (282) 组成，其次是灌木 (260)、乔木 (229)、攀缘植物 (82)、木本攀缘植物 (67)、棕榈 (14) 和寄生植物 (1)。在区域一级登记的 935 种 MF 物种中，大量物种全年开花，然而，并非所有这些物种都被认为对当地商业养蜂有用。只有 23 个物种被认为对当地养蜂业具有重要意义。
