This study aimed at evaluating conditions of production and extraction of honey produced by Apis mellifera L. in Pires do Rio micro region in the state of Goias. For the evaluation of the apicultural Practice and Good Manufacturing Practices, we used a checklist compiled from the health standards in Brazil, where 29 extraction units were visited. The results showed that conformity index ranged 03-70% and that the extraction conditions interfered directly in product quality. They were analyzed for moisture, acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural, reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, ashes, insoluble solids and microbiological analysis of fungi and yeast. Of the 35 samples analyzed was observed that 22 (62.85%) have inadequate quality according to the criteria recommended by Instruction Nº. 11 MAPA, while the nonconformities related to moisture (1 to 35, 2.85%), Acidity Total (9 to 35, 25.7%), Hidroximetilfurfural (4 of 35, 11.4%), insoluble solids (12 to 35, 34.28%), Ash (2 of 35, 5.7%). The amount of yeast and mold counts were also evaluated and from <1.0 x 10 ¹ ² to 5.0 x 10 CFU / g were found. The study results indicated that only 37.14% of the samples are in accordance with the guidelines established by the legislation. It follows therefore that the majority of establishments surveyed have unsatisfactory hygiene conditions and thus do not meet the current legislation with regard to the Good Manufacturing Practices for the production of safe food
