The physicochemical characteristics of honey depend on many factors such as bee species, climatic aspects, physiological state of the hive and the vegetable species that serve the necessary nectar and pollen. The description of the physicochemical aspects of honey in Brazil becomes relevant to define the quality of Brazilian products, as well as regional aspects and species of bees influence the physical and chemical composition of honey. The objective of this paper is to describe the physicochemical quality of Brazilian honey, relating to the species of bees and the regional production and to highlight the importance of these elements to determine the quality of honey. In order to provide the standard research on the physicochemical characterization of honey, the following keywords have been set: honey and physicochemical quality. The physic-chemical characteristics are defined by the normative instruction MAPA No. 11/2000 and by the values, there were determined averages, standard deviation and analysis of the main components of honey from different Brazilian states and honey from different species of bees. Stingless bees produce honey with distinguished physical-chemical quality, depending on the species. The Apis mellifera honey has good physicochemical
