I was amazed by an article in the Insider ‘ “ Honey is one of the most faked foods in the world, and the US Government isn’t do anything about it “ This bothers me so much. Is fake honey or adulterated honey plaquing the beekeeping industry. I am a small beekeeper and prodduce honey and propolis. I utilize bee venom in my life.
Either these manufacturers of faux bee honey are diluting the honey with syrup, or they chemically modify the sugars they put into this faux honey. This is a shame as the purchaser of the honey is being robbed of the benefits of honey. I prefer raw honey right from the hive
The US government got involved in 2013 and charged to honey manufacturer. There needs to be more regulation on honey Manufacturers from 2008 were changed and so were individuals manufacturing this adulterated honey It is a shame that such a pure product from what i consider the most respected insects can get a bad rap. It is so unfair
Yet 10-12 years later there is still fake honey on the shelves of stores. You as the consumer should look into the manufacturers before oyu buy honey. I would buy from your local beekeeper. He is not selling volume Like me, he/she is selling about 20-30 lbs from each hive You need to support the local beekeeper. It is better than buying from a store. He might have it a bit higher in price, but it supports their love for their bees and the environment. It is not just the honey you buy in plastic jars that be adulterated but think about all the honey used in the food industry. This is a bigger problem. I try to do my part by warning individuals about honey calling people out, but I cannot do it all.
