Beekeepers put their hives and colonies in citrus orchards in north and south of the country. As a result, citrus honey is collected in early spring by bees. Unlike citrus honey, southern citrus honey has less moisture but more aroma. It is also rich in vitamins, especially B2, B5, B3, and vitamin C. However, it is low in phenolic compounds and antioxidant agents. Methyl anthranilate and Hesperidin substances have been identified as two indicators of Citrus mono flower honey.
