**4. Conclusions**

Honey samples collected from Babors Kabylia, which is an important biogeographical zone with grea<sup>t</sup> beekeeping potential, were analyzed to characterize the honey of this region using physico-chemical, melissopalynological and sensory parameters. The richness of the region in terms of melliferous plants has manifested through the production of a variety of monofloral honeys, including heather, *Genista*, sulla, Asteraceae and blackberry besides to the polyfloral honeys. Samples had a diverse sensory profile in terms of smell/flavor (vegetal, fruity and floral) highly appreciated by consumers. However, it is necessary to mention that some quality parameters related to hive managemen<sup>t</sup> have been affected. It is therefore recommended to enhance knowledge on beekeeping managemen<sup>t</sup> and to promote professional training for beekeepers to better manage the hive and improve both the quality and quantity of honey.
