Although today many well-known positive properties of bee honey, one of the earliest identified is the antioxidant activity (AOA), which is attributed to its complex chemical composition. The aim of this study was to determine the AOA of seventy-three (73) different honey samples from the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina by phosphomolybdenum assay. It has been analyzed different types of honey: meadow honey (27), forest honey (9), honey from acacia (8), chestnut honey (7), honey from heather (7), sage honey (7), mountain honey (5) and linden honey (3). All analyzed samples were produced in the period 2013-2015. The results showed that the highest AOA [expressed in mmol ascorbic acid equivalents per mass of honey (mmolAAE/100 g)] had a sample of meadow honey from Stolac (18.89 mmolAAE/100 g), while the lowest AOA had a sample of sage honey from the same location (6.39 mmolAAE/100 g). The results of AOA showed a variation within the same honey types, which supports the well-known fact that the chemical composition of honey depends on many factors (the botanical origin of honey plants, climatic factors, geographical area, etc.).
