Includes references.

A total of 15 honey samples from different five sources and two origins were analyzed ,results are presented concluded ,specific gravity ,viscosity (Poise) ,colour, granulation, EC (%),TSS % ,moisture %, pH ,free acidity mg/kg, lacton mg/kg, total acidity mg/kg ,fructose %, glucose %, sucrose %, maltose %, HMF (mg/kg) and protein %. The results of physical properties was specific gravity parallel ranged from 1.396 to 1.44 , viscosity ranged 19.63 to 87.83 (Poise), colour ranged 0.136 to 0.328 , granulation ranged 1.451 to 2.01, EC from 0.009 to 0.044 % and TSS ranged 80 to 83.17 %. The results of chemical properties was parallel ,showed that, pH ranged from 3.66 to 4.77,free acidity 11.7 to 125.67 mg/kg , Lacton 10.5 to 34.3 mg/kg ,total acidity 26.2 to 140.67 mg/kg ,fructose 38.58 to 41.0 % , glucose 30.1 to 33.4 %, sucrose 0.9 to 3.97 % , maltose 4.03 to 9.9 % ,HMF 2.9 to 20.57 mg/kg and protein 0.43 to 0.96 %.
