Abstract

The objective of the present study is to know effect of sugary feeding periods for honeybee colonies [beginning (FSB), mid (FSM) and end (FSE) of the flowering seasons] on some physicochemical properties of of bees' honey. All data were statistically tested using analysis of variance and discriminating analysis to distinguish between the three types of honey for parameters that can be determined easily in routine honey control. The characterization of three types of honey was carried out based on their quality parameters [Moisture, total soluble solids (TSS), electrical conductivity, Specific gravity, viscosity, pH, total acidity, free acids, lactones, glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose content, HMF and Diastase and Invertase enzymes]. The results showed that the three honey types could not be assigned by 100% into their actual groups even when all parameters were used simultaneously in the analysis. Two samples of the honey (FSM and FSE) were also assigned. Among different parameters used moisture, TSS, viscosity, sucrose content. The results were discussed in the light of some beekeeping managements before and after harvesting of honey, and the effectiveness of the chosen parameters.
