In the following study a quantitative and qualitative analysis of thirteen samples of honey is realised. The honey is extracted from beehives all of which are located at an altitude between 600 m to 1000 m in the province of Orense (NW Spain). In eleven of the samples the dominant pollen is Castanea sativa, reaching in three of them a percentage between 80-84%. The pollen of Rubus sp. is also dominant in one of honeys studied, wich a percentage of 67%. The nine remaining honeys are polyfloral and as well as Castanea sativa and Rubus sp. other pollens are commonly present, these being: Adenocarpus complicatus, Campanula sp., Hypericum perforatum, Lotus corniculatus , Prunus sp., Crataegus mono gina and Ericaceae.
