The syrup they mix it with is probably safer than the actual honey content !

So that is the reason why we cannot get proper price for real honey..
3,06-3,46 euros per kg of excellent black locust honey at my place on big..
They are mocking with us and make us politely said "fools"..

They fake a lot of foods - try googling 'fake eggs' (available on youtube). They also use excessive or inappropriate chemicals in food production - try googling 'Chinese kiwi fruit and chemicals'

Anyone who eats gorilla b**l*x deserves whatever they get - should be a law against the damn things

People are beginning to take heed though, when i tackled my local butcher about his honey 'blend of EC and non...............' he did say his customers were shunning it but he coudn't source any Welsh honey I told him it may be a tough one but I'd try and find someone who could help Luckily I mentioned it really
