Summary/Abstract: The current trend towards active lifestyle orientation includes the focus on healthy eating and the search for alternatives to "conventional" nutritional strategies. Bee products are an interesting nutritional attribute. The questionnaire survey using a questionnaire of its own design was attended by 1086 respondents over 18 years of age permanently living in the Czech Republic. The most famous and most widely used bee product is honey, where 99% of the adult population has a general idea of composition and use, with a declared average consumption of 0.6 kg per person per year, where consumption is several times higher in interest groups. Respondents prefer liquid consistency and flowering (nectar) honey. Here, due to the composition and origin of Czech honey, controversy arises. The least known product and even the least used is the bee fruit. Given the current food legislation and nutritional potential of the bee, it can be a very interesting option in the future.
