The quality of honey without stings can be seen from its physical, chemical properties and the absence of heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and heavy metals content of Heterotrigona itama stingless honey at a specific location in Samarinda City, East Kalimantan. The research method used a one-factor completely randomized design. To find out the effect of treatment from the location of honey, it was analyzed using ANOVA and the smallest significant difference was at the 5% level. The results showed that H. itama honey from Tanah Merah village cultivated in Samarinda had physical properties favored by Fanelis for 92% color and 88% aroma, and 75% taste for H. itama honey from Gunung Lingai Village. Chemical properties of reducing sugar content of 64.37%, sucrose 4.55%, total dissolved solids 69.42%, the highest pH 2.86 and 0.19% the lowest ash content were obtained from H itama honey from Gunung Lingai, and the water content was 31, 68% the lowest was for H. itama honey from Tanah Merah village.
