Abstract


Honey is a natural, sweet and healthy food that is produced all over the world. In Romania, honey production has a long tradition and is an important source of income for many farmers. Currently, Romania is the third largest producer of honey in Europe, after Spain and Germany. In recent years, honey production has increased significantly, mainly due to the increase in the number of beehives and the growing interest in natural food products. Unfortunately, the adulteration of honey is a globally widespread phenomenon, and many countries are involved in this practice. These products, being cheaper, affect the producers of natural honey all over the world, therefore also in Romania. Through this paper, we highlight the main problems faced by the Romanian producers of natural honey, with an emphasis on those from the Hațeg region.
