The paper presents the main trends of the Romanian honey market, in the period 20 8-2022. In order to better highlight the evolution of this market, it was necessary to analyze specific indicators such as: total production of honey and the number of bee families both nationally and regionally; the price for honey at national level; consumption of honey per capita - average annual; quantitative exports and imports of honey from Romania. Complementary to the economic part, due to the fact that the honey bees are not only honey producers, but also vital natural pollinators, the paper also mentions and analyzes aspects related to the ethics of the beekeeping environment in Romania and EU, especially the use of neonicotinoids, in the context of global transformations.
