Honey May consumed as Food agent and traditional cure, containing nectar or exudate-sugar from the plants collected by honeybees that benefit for traditional Cure in Community. Honey utility dependent on its Product purity. This Research is aimed to observe the quality of Common honey that collected from Tabukan Residence, so that we can give suggestion for further development. Honey quality Test is occupied in Laboratory of Research and Industrial Standardization Board Banjarbaru South Kalimantan. Honey quality Test Parameters are: Water content, Ash level, insoluble solid, reductor sugar, and sucrose Sugar content. The result shows that natural honey in Tabukan regency containing Water content 17%, Ash level 0.26%, insoluble solid 1.41%, reductor Sugar 65.63%, and sucrose Sugar content 3.82%. Comparing with the SNI 01-3545-2004 honey quality standards, the honey in this Research have a very good quality, because it fulfilled all Test parameter requirements. Thus, insoluble solid gains 1.41% which is higher from the 0.5% maximum SNI standard. So we can suggest that Natural Honey in Tabukan Regency May be developed by stump system.
