This study was intended to determine microbiological quality and physiochemical characteristics of honey collected from different Slovak habitats. Physiochemical properties were determined using the harmonised methods of the international honey commission. We found no occurrence of coliform bacteria in honey through microbiological analysis. Number of microscopic fungi was in amount from 100 to 4500 cfu per. From isolated species composition of fungi the most frequent genera included Alternaria sp., Mycelia sterilia and Aspergillus candidus. All samples of honey were well within the limits of the Codex Standard for water content, conductivity, diastase, invertase, pH and water activity.
