ABSTRACT: Honey has been used for the treatment of various illnesses since time immemorial. Honey is employed as a remedy for the treatment of burns, microbial infections, cardiovascular disorders, and gastrointestinal problems. The objectives of this study were to evaluate physicochemical characteristics and in vitro antibacterial properties of honey produced by Apis mellifera against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Honey samples were collected from three districts of the Awi zone from April to June 2023. The pH and moisture of collected honey were determined following the standard procedure.
