Chemical composition and different properties of honey depend on several factors:
Botanical origin - plants from which the bees collect their pollen and nectar. Honey collected from medicinal plants and herbs has by far much higher therapeutic properties. Plants growing in various geographical locations and in different climates and soils naturally have different chemical composition.
Ecology - Determines the presence or absence of certain elements in the honey (pesticides, heavy metals, GMO).
Species of bees - Different species of bees have different enzymic activity and enrich their honey with different enzymes. High presence of enzymes in the honey determines its high quality.
Harvesting conditions – climate and outside temperature are an important determining factor of the amount of enzymes in the honey as well as the water content in the product. High water content in honey lowers its therapeutic properties.
Beekeeper’s work - collecting only ripe honey guarantees a high product quality. Ripe honey is the honey that bees have completely sealed in their honeycombs. Namely that kind of honey preserves the best qualities and high therapeutic attributes. The use of illegal antibiotics for treating bee families makes the honey hazardous.
Packaging - packaging the honey with thermal processing at high temperature regimes, gamma ray sterilization and filtration (removing pollen and wax in order to make the honey seem more transparent) lowers the product quality.
Storage - absence of direct sunlight and high temperature (above 40 C) is crucial, as these factors destroy the main elements in honey. To see in detail, go to the Quality problems
This is why, honey can greatly vary in its chemical composition and therapeutic attributes. Only abiding by all these factors, does honey have its highest value. It is impossible for different batches of honey to have the same chemical composition or the same amount of elements present, as they are collected by different apiarists in different conditions and so have different botanical origins (you can’t make the bee collect nectar from the same type of plant). This is why, it is only possible to guarantee a high quality of honey for a particular batch.
In the section "MY HONEY" (a unique batch code is on each jar) you can review the actual chemical composition, amounts of elements, as well as their significance and also properties of a particular batch of Bashkir Bee Honey as confirmed by international laboratories.

Overall chemical composition and value of honey properties

WATER	Water content determines the quality of honey. No more than 18% is the optimal amount for ripe honey. A high water content lowers antibacterial properties (osmotic effect) and also induces honey enzymeation.
Diifferent types of sugar	Glucose, Fructose	Source of energy. 100g of honey contains 315 calories. During digestion, fructose and glucose emit a large amount of energy needed for life functions of the body. Sucrose and maltose when influenced by invertase enzyme turn into monosaccharides, which our bodies are able to absorb. Apart from that, sugars carry an osmotic (antibacterial) effect. Many types of harmful microorganisms are not able to survive in sugar-rich environments.
	Maltose, Turanose
	Sucrose, Erlose
ENZYMES	Lipase	Contributes to the digestion of fats.
	Amylase	Enzyme that catalyzes starches, glycogen and same type polysaccharides.
	Diastase	Breaks down complex carbohydrates of starches and less complex carbohydrates of maltose.
	Invertase	Breaks down complex carbohydrate of sucrose and less complex carbohydrate of glucose and fructose.
	Catalase	Breaks down hydrogen-oxide, which occurs as a byproduct in cells of organisms and is a strong poison to cells. More active cells have a higher concentration of hydrogen-oxides in them.
	Phosphatase	Helps to metabolize carbohydrates, nucleotides and phosphotides, they play the main role in calcification of salts.
	Glucose oxidase	Breaks down glucose while producing hydrogen-oxides and gluconic acid.
	Inhibin	Oxidizes glucose producing glucuronic acid.
	Polyphenol oxidase	Contributes to the production of melanin, a pigment found in skin, hair and the iris.
	Phospholipase	Necessary for cellular interaction within the immune system.
	Inulase	Contributes to lowering blood–glucose levels.
	Glycogenase	Breaks down live starches (glycogen) turning them into glucose and maltose.
AMINO-AC IDS	Proline, Leucine, Glycine	Honey contains more than 30 types of amino acids, which are considered to be the chemical building blocks of proteins. All proteins in our body are unique, carrying specific functions and are synthesized in our bodies from the broken down proteins or “amino-acids” we get from foods. That is why raw amino-acids and not actual proteins are most important as a food source. There is a constant process of synthesizing proteins from amino-acids within the body, and when one irreplaceable amino-acid is missing the process is paused. This can lead to many different types of disorders like indigestion, depression, or can even stop the growing process.
	Serine, Alanine, Histidine
	Aspartic acid
	Glutamic acid
	Threonine, Lysin, Valine
POLLEN	Phosphotides, Lecithins, Cephalin, Photosterol, Phosphatidylserine, and other.	Natures closet of natural biologically active agents; enzymes and vitamins of plant and bee origin. Pollen contains 240 useful substances, 27 of which are microelements. Besides, stimulates growth and tissue regeneration, boosts the immune system and strengthens sexual functions.
FLAVONOIDS	6500 types	Relax vascular spasms and contribute to the healing process, this group including rutin, hesperidin and epicatechin is widely used in today’s medicine. They are a natural antioxidant as well as an antibiotic and have similar properties to citrin (vitamin P), strengthen walls of capillaries, prevent bruising and internal bleeding, have antibacterial properties, choleretic action and are able to eliminate radioactive particles from the body.
MINERALS	Molybdenum	Promotes metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.
	Silica	Promotes the strengthening of veins and arteries, cartilage, tendons and bones.
	Bohr	Regulates hormonal balance.
	Chrome	Involved in regulating blood sugar levels.
	Calcium	The main role is to maintain the integrity of the skeletal system, where 99% of calcium is deposited. The other 1% plays an important role in blood coagulation, generation and transmission of nerve impulses and production of some hormones.
	Phosphorus	Phosphorus together with calcium strengthens bones and teeth, which contain 85% of this mineral in the body. Phosphorus also plays an important role in many other chemical reactions in the body. The most important of them is the production of energy, synthesis of proteins as well as metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
	Sodium	Involved in production of digestive fluids, regulates kidney secretion of metabolic particles, activates enzymes of the salivary and the pancreatic glands, and accounts for more than 30% of alkalinity in blood plasma. Sodium ions contribute to the swelling of colloid tissues, which leads to water retention in the body.
	Potassium	Potassium regulates the acid-alkaline balance in the blood. It is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, activates the function of several enzymes and the muscular function of the heart and has a positive effect on the function of skin and kidneys.
	Iron	Iron is involved in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a complex protein that delivers oxygen to the cells in the body, the composition of which includes iron and other metals.
	Zink	Contributes to metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, the function of the reproduction glands, boosts immune system and promotes healing.
	Magnesium	Contributes to glucose uptake, energy production, transmission of nerve impulses and synthesis of proteins. It also contributes to bone tissue growth and prevention of atherosclerosis.
	Selenium	Essential in the functions of glutathione, a natural fighter against free radicals and a potential antioxidant. This chemical compound made in the body ensures a healthy immune system.
	Copper	Supports the function of the central nervous system, lowers the risk of cardio-vascular diseases and supports the synthesis of vitamins B,C,P,PP,E.
	Manganese	Elevates the ability of blood to coagulate, contributes to the metabolization of carbohydrates and salts, strengthens the immune system and takes part in blood synthesis.
