Element content in ten Croatian honey types from different geographical regions during three seasons

•Concentrations of macro-, micro- and toxic elements were measured in 10 honey types.•Honeys were collected in four regions of Croatia in three beekeeping seasons.•Significant differences were found in the element levels between different honeys.•Element content differences in honeys were measured between seasons.•Regional element content differences of the same honey types were established. Concentrations of 20 elements were measured in ten honey types collected from four main geographical regions of Croatia during three beekeeping seasons. The four regions differ by their geography, ecology and climate. Significant differences in the element concentrations between honeys of different botanical origin were found for Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Pb and Zn (p
