Species diversity and quality of honey available on the Czech market
TRMALOVÁ, Františka
This bachelor thesis describes the species diversity and the quality of honey, which is available on the Czech market. In the theoretical part I have focused mainly on physical and chemical properties, test methods and quality classification of honey. Furthermore, there are also legislative requirements for honey. In the practical part, I went to 3 shops, where I focused mainly on the correct information on the labels of honeys and then is assessed according to decree no. 76/2003 Coll., which sets the requirements for natural sweeteners, honey, sweets, cocoa powder and mixtures of cocoa with sugar, chocolate candies.

The aim of bachelor thesis was to compare production and quality of honey and organic honey from South Bohemia region. Sensory and chemical analysis of selected organic honeydew honey and conventional blossom honey was done. Chemical analysis assessed these traits water content, sucrose content, hydroxymethylfurfural content and electric conductivity. Obtained analyse's results were compared with legislative requirements for honey quality by Czech Ministry of Agriculture Notice no. 73/2003 Sb. and Czech beekeepers association's standard no. 1/1999 Czech honey. Only organic honey (sample no. 2) did not received Czech honey quality certificate. Measured water content was 19.5 %. Czech honey standard allows water content only up to 18 %. Higher water content was caused by beekeeper by premature honey removal. Honey was not properly matured. Other analysed traits met both quality standards. Lower honey production was found in case of organic beekeeping. Using blossom honey as a winter season reserve is a common practise in organic beekeeping, which reduces the total amount of produced (obtained) honey. Furthermore honey bee pasture and veterinary treatments are only naturally based. Organic honey production was at level of 10 to 11.5 kilogram (without 7 7.5 kg of honey due to food for overwintering) per hive whereas conventional honey production was at level of 23 to 26 kilogram per hive. Organic honey production is not based on quantity but the effort is put on bee contentment welfare.
