The aim of the study is to examine the amount and the composition of honey under the influence of temperature, percipation and days without percipation. This research covers four years from 2015. till 2018. on six sites where stationary hives were situated. The climate on the research area is Mediterranean and relief is Karst. Two type of soil are dominant in the lime stone area red and brown soil which are highly suitable for the exsistance of plants over the longer dry summer period because of their ability to hold water. The school meterological GLOBE station provides all the data for the interpretation of the climate and weather conditions. Survey among beekeepers is used for testing the amount of honey and the structure of pollen. The results of the survey have shown the important influence of the weather conditions on the amount of honey as well as the structure of pollen presented in honey.
