"The market is being flooded by cheap, imported adulterated honey and it is undermining the business of genuine honey producers. The public are being misinformed, because they are buying what they think is genuine honey.”

The Guardian · Nine in ten honey samples from UK retailers fail authenticity testBy Jon Ungoed-Thomas

@junesim63
That's one my parents are also struggling with in France.

@junesim63 wow that's a lot! Same problem with olive oil too.

@junesim63 As a beekeeper, I found it initially difficult to justify the selling price of my own honey... until we offered tasters using store bought vs our own. Our honey sold out. Our association is planning a bigger session next year.
