Except heather honey, the investigated honeys showed rheological properties of Newton liquids. Viscosity curves were plotted against temperature and water content. Botanical origin was found to have a relatively small effect on honey viscosity, the characteristic being more influenced by water content and temperature. Origin-related differences in viscosity were more pronounced at lower temperature (10-15 deg C). At temperature above 40 deg C water content in the range of 16,4 to 20,0 percent had likewise little effect on viscosity. When measured at 25 deg C viscosity of honey samples came within the range from 18169 to 2560 cP
