Contents of Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Cd, Na, K, Ca and Mg in 123 honey samples from different regions of the Republic of Macedonia were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. A microwave digestion system was applied for digestion of the samples. The mean content for the elements determined was found to be: 2.252, 0.696, 1.885, 1.752, 0.004, 29.52, 984.8, 40.11, 18.24 mg kg(-1) for Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Cd, Na, K, Ca and Mg, respectively. Based on a comparison of statistical parameters, the spatial distribution of particular elements in Macedonian honey and the results of factor analysis, two natural and one anthropogenic geochemical associations were identified. The natural geochemical associations (Mg, Mn, Ca, K and Fe, Zn, Ca, -K, -Na) are influenced mainly by lithology. The anthropogenic associations (Cd and -Cu) are mostly a result of metallurgical activities, namely lead production in the town of Veles.
采用原子吸收光谱法测定了来自马其顿共和国不同地区的123份蜂蜜样品中锌、铜、铁、锰、镉、钠、钾、钙和镁的含量。采用微波消解系统对样品进行消解。所测元素的平均含量分别为：锌2.252、铜0.696、铁1.885、锰1.752、镉0.004、钠29.52、钾984.8、钙40.11、镁18.24mg/kg。通过对统计参数、马其顿蜂蜜中特定元素的空间分布以及因子分析结果的比较，确定了两个自然地球化学组合和一个人为地球化学组合。自然地球化学组合（镁、锰、钙、钾和铁、锌、钙、-钾、-钠）主要受岩性影响。人为组合（镉和-铜）主要是冶金活动的结果，即韦莱斯镇的铅生产活动。
