This paper was carried out to verify how honey samples, collected from November to December 2001, from the region of Chapada do Araripe, in Santana do Cariri, State of Ceará, Brazil, could be grouped. Twenty-one samples of Apis mellifera honey were studied concerning their total sugars, reducing sugar, sucrose, humidity, Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), protein, ashes, pH, acidity, formal index, electric conductivity, color and viscosity. The pollen types occurring in each honey sample were identified as well. Although the samples were fairly uniform regarding the floral origin, the latitude and longitude of the collecting sites, results showed there 12 different groups
