Allinvestigated honey samples were multifloral because they contained secondary and minor pollengroups. The dominant group of pollen grains were determined as the families of Fabaceae in 2samples and Scrophulariaceae in 5 other samples, Helianthus annuus in 1 sample and Zea mays in 1sample. Secondary pollen groups consisted of the families of Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae,Fabaceae, Poaceae, Rosaceae, Scrophulariaceae and genera of Centaurea, Cistus, Eucalyptus andLinaria. Pollen of 55 plant taxa were identified in examined honey samples of which 21 wereclassified on the family level, 30 were on the genera level, 1 was on the tribe level and 3 were on thespecies level. The total number of pollen (TPN-10) in 10 grams of honey ranged from 332 to 42496.According to the results of the TPN-10 analysis in honey samples, 3 samples were normal and otherswere poor. The taxa of Zea mays, Cistus, Poaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Amaranthaceae were foundin pollen sources. Helianthus annuus and Brassicaceae were found in nectar sources. Fabaceae,Rosaceae, Eucalyptus, Centaurea were found in nectar and pollen sources and were identified in thehoneys.
