Honey as a food has long been used in human nutrition and is still popular. Honey is important because of its therapeutic, prophylactic and strengthening value. Pollen is one of the most decisive components that ensure the quality and type of honey. Modern society becomes more and more sensitive to airborne pollen. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the composition of allergenic plant pollen in natural honey. For this purpose, we studied and compared pollen abundance in honey and air samples collected in Lithuania. Standard methods for pollen investigation in air and honey were used in this study. The botanical diversity of pollen identified in honey and air samples indicates 10 morphotypes: 8 of woody plants and 2 of herbaceous plants, in both the honey and air samples. Salix pollen counts in the honey were found to be highest among airborne pollen from May to September. The anemophilous allergenic pollen constituted 44 % of the total pollen detected in the honey.

Miód jest produktem spożywczym stosowanym w żywieniu ludzi od czasów starożytności, a obecnie cieszy się dużą popularnością. Posiada walory terapeutyczne, profilaktyczne i wzmacniające. Jednym z istotnych składników miodu jest pyłek, który decyduje o jakości i rodzaju miodu. Pyłek występujący w powietrzu stanowi coraz większe zagrożenie dla osób wrażliwych. Dlatego określenie ewentualnego występowania pyłku alergennego w miodzie jest istotne. Celem pracy było określenie korelacji pomiędzy zawartością pyłku w aeroplanktonie a jego zawartością w próbkach miodów. Badania prowadzono na Litwie. Zastosowano standardowe metody określania zawartości pyłku w powietrzu i miodach. Stwierdzono 10 morfotypów: 8 roślin drzewiastych oraz 2 roślin zielnych, zarówno w próbkach miodu jak i w powietrzu. Suma ziaren pyłku Salix w miodzie była najwyższa spośród pyłku występującego w powietrzu w okresie od maja do września. Pyłek o właściwościach alergicznych, pochodzący od roślin wiatropylnych, stanowił 44% całej ilości pyłku stwierdzanego w miodach.
