Is there any way to tell that from the label? If it’s at a farmer’s market, for instance, could it still be like that?
There is a local organic store that sells honey from a vat (weighed out) - I hope it’s good.
At a farmer’s market you should be okay.
I may not have the numbers exactly right, but in order to claim honey is “Local Honey,” it can contain 20% non local honey. Typically, honey producers will buy in bunk from Canada or China and cut their local honey with the imported honey. It’s still honey, but the thought of Chinese honey gives me the creeps.
Now, if you feed your bees HFCS or sugar, they will produce honey, but most people could tell the difference by taste. The fructose/glucose splits are not all that different.
Talk to the guy selling you the honey.
