The imrpose of this study was to analyze major sugar components of honey by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLQ method. Results, compared with data obtained from similar studies in Polaml, the United States (U.S.), and Canada, showed no obvious discrepancies. Results indicated that the fructose content in honey collected from kept honeybees was 38%; in winter honey, 36% and from wild honeybees, 45%. The glucose content in winter honey was 27%; in kept honey, 33%; and wild honey, 31%* Thus, the friK:tose-to-gIucose ratios are between 1.1-1.2 in kept honey and 1.4-L6 in wild honey. Only a smaO amount of sucrose was detectable in some samples, while the content of maltose in all samples was around 4,2%. The total sugar content in winter honey was 67%; honey produced in other seasons contained 75%, with wild honey up to 80%.
