Monitoring of honey consumption in the area of the city Našice with reference to the health effects of honey consumption

There is a wide range of bee products on the market. The most famous and most accepted by consumers is honey. In Western European countries, the average consumption of honey per capita ranges from three to eight kilograms, while the average consumption of honey in Croatia is very low, 400 grams per capita. The European Union produces only 52% of honey for its own needs. The aim of the research was to study the availability of honey to potential consumers, honey consumption habits, ways of consuming honey, and knowledge of the properties of honey. A survey was conducted online. Respondents were of different genders and different age groups. The survey consisted of 20 questions, and 130 individuals (46% mean and 54% women) from the city of Našice were interviewed. The obtained data were analysed. After conducting research and processing the results, it can be concluded that honey is a product that is accepted by consumers of different age groups. Respondents believe that propolis has better healing properties than honey, but they rarely consume it. Honey is available and affordable to consumers.
