That’s funny. We used to dump our planes urinals in the “honey wagon” at Kamh Rhan Bay.

Dittos 4 miles down the road is some of the best honey i ever had right from the hive fresh spun glistening gold sweetness ...
I don’t see how you could fake honey with fructose corn syrup unless you’ve never tasted honey before ...

Don’t buy honey from a supermarket period.

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.

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. Not much of a Honey Shop, is it?

It was a joke. I just remember the honey wagons when I was stationed in Germany back in the sixties.

Buckwheat honey is hard to mistake ~ but Karo syrup is good fer' ye, man and beast!
One of the difficult to detect tricks is the use of wheat flout in honey, maple syrup, sorghum (for what reason I have no idea ~ maybe trying to trick Ethiopians or something), or various sorts of candy. Properly processed it has most of the characteristics of un-refined sugar and can "pass" ~

I bought some fried chicken and a biscuit several years ago and put honey on them. Something was wrong. I looked at the ingredients on the honey packet, and it was honey flavored syrup.

I do not believe it is impossible to tell the difference by chemical testing between honey and corn syrup.

It all depends on what is is (thank you mr clinton) Doing some research it may be that honey doesn't crystallize as much with the pollen removed. Many people think honey is bad when crystallized and don't realize all you have to do is put in boiling water to change it back to liquid form. But how many of us would buy crystallized honey from the store so it does extend market life, but not useful life?

My take on it as well.

Wheat flour would make the honey unsuitable for my gluten intolerant innards.
