This research evaluated the quality of honey samples collected from artificial and natural apiaries and the surrounding markets in three municipal locations in Edo State, Nigeria. The physicochemical properties, proximate and heavy metal composition of honey samples from five farms and five nearby markets were analyzed using standard methods. The results were compared with the Codex Alimentarius General Standards and the European Union Council Directive. A narrow pH range of 3.43±0.03 to 3.87±0.00 was obtained, while the free acidity varied between 27.00±0.10 to 83.70±0.30 meq/kg.
