The aim of this work was to monitor the changes in the physico-chemical properties of different honey samples from Székelyföld after six months of storage. The studied 10 honey samples were from 6 types of honey: sunflower, lime, dew, rape, mixed flower and acacia. The moisture content, electrical conductivity, changes in sugar components (glucose, fructose, glucose/fructose ratio, sucrose) and hydroxy methyl furfural content of the honeys were tested. All samples showed a decrease in moisture content. Storage increased glucose and fructose, while sucrose decreased. There is a significant difference in electrical conductivity and diastase enzyme activity between honey samples. Lime honey, dew honey and sunflower honey showed the greatest decrease in electrical conductivity. The hydroxyl methyl furfural content of honey samples showed an increasing trend, especially in acacia honey. Further studies with a larger number of honey types may help to understand the relationships between these parameters.
