I’ve got a bee keeper right down the road and his honey is the real deal.

Authentic trustworthy honey is what neighbors and farmers' markets are for.

[SueRae]

I buy from a local beekeeper. He even has the Fall Wildflower, darker with a deeper flavor. My favorite.

[Steely Tom]

Even Ray Liotta honey?

[mrsmith]

‘Real’ locally produced honey is $10 to $15 a qt.

Sure is good though...

Honey is best purchased from a local source.

[kabumpo]

that’s why I went to Whole Foods and got Manuka honey from New Zealand - 100% the real deal - nothing else smells or tastes like it.

[Figment]

I get mine at the farmers market. It’s local and real

[Starstruck]

We have a honey wagon that comes around weekly.

So is this the Honey Boo Boo I have been hearing about as of late?

[Revolting cat!]

My honey was fake. Thankfully, we are divorced now.

Here’s a list of Comb Honey suppliers by state, city.

The title from Yahoo reads: “That Honey You Just Bought Might Not Really Be Honey”

So who added the false 76% statement?

The Yahoo news piece was the pimping of Food Safty News for a few honey producers and nothing more.

There is a store that opened near me that calls itself the Honey Shop. It is owned by some Middle Eastern guys. I stepped in and axed if they had Tupelo honey. They never heard of Van Morrison.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The “honey” you get at KFC for your biscuits contains less than 7% real honey.

[BipolarBob]

Don’t buy honey from a supermarket period.

[Revolting cat!]

This probably does not apply to honey, but I’ll mention it anyway. The report said that the produce at farmer’s markets (which is much more expensive than at the local supermarket, I have found) is often lower quality than the produce that these same farmers sell to wholesalers (and which ends up in supermarkets) because the farmers have discovered that the dumbed up public thinks that veggies and fruits that don’t look perfect are more authentic.

So, honey keeps longer with the pollen removed, so we can't prove it's honey if there is no pollen, so it's all fake because we can't prove it isn't. BS.

I just bought two small “bear” bottles of Kroger Pure Clover Honey. Looking at the bottle, it says “Pure Clover Honey”, “Grade A, Product of USA”.

This is part of my prepper supplies and I want honey with the longest life which is, without pollen it lasts forever.

This article is extremely misleading.

They might be selling fake ketchup too
