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.
Sounds good, thanks.
Wow, I’d like to hope the raw honey I buy is not made with HFCS.
You might find this interesting: male gymnasts use honey with chalk on the wooden parallel bars. Gymnasts bring their own, even to the Olympics. Most gymnasts preferred the horrible dollar store “honey” that has a bee pictured on the front but comes from China and has never been in a hive for sure. Treasured for its perfect sticky quality, that stuff was NOT honey. And I ended up buying it a lot for my son!
