Abstract

The main purpose of this work was to determine the impact of the location of bee apiaries in diff erent parts of Poland on the physicochemical properties of selected bee honeys. Studies focused on the determination of the antioxidant properties of apiproducts. Th e water content in honeys as well as their pH values were also analyzed. Four types of honeys (honeydew, linden, buckwheat, acacia) originating from various parts of Poland were selected for the research. Based on the obtained results, it can be stated that the examined honeys differed in physicochemical properties, which was related to the diff erences in their chemical composition. All honeys tested showed antioxidant properties. It can also be found that the water content in analyzed products was related to their origin and variety. Analyzing pH measurements, it can also be observed that all tested samples were characterized by acidic properties.
