Honey is a natural complex food product produced by bees from nectar of plants and from honeydew. It is a unique sweetening agent that can be used by humans without processing. The study is based on the determination and analysis of the electrical conductivity of this natural product with change in temperature. A total of six honey samples were selected, with one sample each from Makurdi, Sapele, Yola, Saki, Sokoto and Owerri for analysis of electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of the samples was measured with digital Conductivity/TDS/Salinity meter (PEN TYPE AZ-8361) and the data obtained were statistically analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the level of significance, where p 0.01 The results obtained showed that the average electrical conductivity values of the honey samples varied from 9.7 - 111.6 10-6 S/cm and therefore presented electrical conductivity values which are characteristic of nectar honey.
