From June 14, 2026, new regulations will apply to the honey market to increase transparency for consumers and standardize the sale of bee products. The key change concerns filtered honey: honey that has undergone intensive filtration removing most natural pollen cannot be sold as regular honey, such as multifloral, linden, or acacia honey.

This regulation is important for beekeepers as it strengthens the value of authentic honey whose origin can be verified. Consumers will gain greater assurance that honey on shelves retains natural qualities indicating its quality, rather than being just a clear sweet mass.
