Honey samples, 129 in total, were randomly sampled in Slovenia in 1999. Pollen structure of honey samples was analysed, 44 different types of pollen grains were determined. Pollen grains of sweet chestnut are present in 94,6 % of samples. On average, their content was of 59,98 % per sample. 42 honey samples contain more than 90 % of such pollen, and could be described as pure sweet chestnut honey. Sweet chestnut pollen content is typical of honey produced in Slovenia and could be used as main criterion to distinguish Slovenian honey from honey produced in the other middle European countries situated northern of Slovenia.
