In this work, a protocol for portable nanopore sequencing of DNA from pollen collected from honey bees, bumble bees, and wild bees was developed. DNA metabarcoding is applied to identify genera within the mixed DNA samples. The DNA extraction and ITS and ITS2 PCR parameters tested for this purpose were applied to the collected pollen sample and the amplicons were then decoded using the Flongle sequencer adapter from Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It is shown that the main pollinator resources at the different sites can be identified in percentage proportions. The protocol generated in this study can be used for further ecological questions.
