Based on the performed research, it may be concluded that the problem with unsafe food - honey with antimicrobial drug residues is present in Serbia. Antimicrobials are usually applied in honey beekeeping for treatment and prevention of European Foulbrood in Serbia. As a consequence of drug use and abuse, the residue of antimicrobial drugs and their metabolites appear in honey. Antimicrobial drug residues in honey pose a potential risk to human health. The results of our study show that 23.08% of the honey samples originating from the Vojvodina Province (Serbia) retail, contained antimicrobial drug residues. In order to reduce the number of positive samples, partners from the beekeepers, veterinary and public health communities need to work together to prevent the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials.
