Nowadays, the demand for bee products has also increased due to the growing interest in natural products. Although it is quite easy to adulteration of honey, which is one of these products, it is also very difficult to detect adulteration. In the point of detecting forgery, studies are being carried out specifically to identify the plant sources of honey. Melissopalynological and chemical analyses are methods commonly used in order to identify the botanical origin of honey. Despite the fact that the detection of botanical origin of honey by DNA-based methods which provide faster, simpler and more reliable results are being carried out in recent years, these researches are very less in Turkey. Unlike morphological methods, which require the visual examination of pollen grains, the recently developed genetic methods have the potential to increase the resolution and scale of pollen analyses. In this study, the aim was to present cumulative data by compiling the results of the studies conducted using molecular techniques on honey, and the advantages and disadvantages of this technique were evaluated.
