Best Answer

The pH of honey varies between 3.4 and 6.1, but the average is around 3.9

The acidity of honey is due to the enzyme glucose oxydase in the bees' saliva which breaks some of the glucose down into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. These two substances increase the honey's antibacterial properties.
