Abstract
The honey samples of Apis cerana indica and Apis mellifera collected from 18 different locations of Odisha revealed that physical properties viz., moisture content (%), pH, acidity (%), colour (Refractometer reading-Pfund scale) of the collected apiary honey samples varied from 18.4 to 27, 4.01 to 5.37, 0.19 to 0.68 and 0.217 to 2.00, respectively. Moisture content and colour properties satisfy the standards of ISI specification of Indian honey under A grade, special grade and standard grade.
