The topic of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the impact of grazing on the quality of bee honey. The theoretical part focuses on the characteristics of the individual kinds of honey and their different compositions. The fundamental physical and chemical requirements for honey are described there, including a sensory requirement, which indicates Public Notice No. 76/2003 Coll. The practical part contains the physico-chemical analysis itself, according to the Harmonised methods of the European Honey. The two fundamental kinds of honey were evaluated, i.e. blossom and honeydew honey. Each type of honey was represented by 20 samples. Subsequently, the following parameters were monitored: water content, acidity, pH, electrical conductivity, content of water-insoluble substances and also the test for the evidence of damage of honey structure by starch syrup was done. The comparison of the samples shows that the different types of honey vary mostly in the parameter of electrical conductivity. The final results show that the different bee grazing does not impact the quality of honey.
