This paper emphasized the natural qualities of the five types of honey (Coriandrum sativum, polifloral, mana honey, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Tilia sp.), which were produced without any intervention from the beekeeper side. It si known that sometimes beekeepers supply the bees with a kind of sugar syrup which is processed into a low-quality honey. The analyzes pointed out that the bees collected the nectar from flowers alone and then turned sucrose into glucose and fructose nectar. All the studied honey varieties were natural, even organic, because they had a water content below 20%. This was because of the bees 'capacity' to put honey comb cells preserved only after the water has been evaporated up to this proportion. There are several kinds of honey, so in this study we analyzed five types. These types depend on what kind of flowers the bees have collected nectar from (nectar and pollen they collect and honey but only resulting from the processing of nectar).
