The book “Atlas of pollen and plants used by bees” was prepared with great care with the data of researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and Colombia, who are collaborators of RCPol – Online Pollen Catalogs Network. RCPol was conducted during the development of the project entitled “Study of bee flora and pollen grains for the insertion of data in the Online Pollen Catalogs Network: subsidy for bee management and conservation”, coordinated by researchers PhD. Cláudia Inês da Silva and PhD. Antônio Mauro Saraiva. On the RCPol website, data on more than 2,560 specimens of plants distributed in different plant formations are found, and in this book, information about 43 families, 101 genera, and 126 species from nine collections are presented. The organizers and authors of this book thank Bayer for the financial support for the publication of this work, and the Foundation for the Technological Development of Engineering (FDTE – 001505) for the logistical support. We would also like to thank the Asociación Latinoamericana de Paleobotánica y Palinología for sealing the book, the Department of Ecology at IBUSP (2015-2019), the Center for the Study of Social Insects at UNESP – Rio Claro campus (2019) and the Department of Environmental Sciences at Science and Technology Center for Sustainability at UFSCar – Sorocaba campus (2019-2020) for receiving the project during its development. We thank all the Institutions involved in the acquisition, processing and analysis of the data presented in this Atlas.
