The VHE gamma-ray flux of the Crab Nebula has been observed for many times by different groups in various energy ranges. The comparison of these data shows that values of fluxes obtained by various groups and various methods are not in agreement. It seems that this disagreement is mostly connected with differences in concepts of the effective area and in the energy threshold evaluation used by different groups. The author proposes a method of flux derivation which do not use these concepts and obtains the correct value of the flux. Applied to data obtained in the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (1.3±0.4)×10-11 quanta cm-2s-1 is obtained for the flux above 1 TeV. The Crab Nebula VHE gamma-ray flux was derived on the basis of theoretical models. The calculation of De Jager and Harding agrees with the observations in the case of a relatively low magnetic field strength. The calculation derived by the present author gives, in contrast, a low gamma-ray flux. It is concluded that further investigations of the Crab Nebula are to be carried out.
