Hi! Thanks for an interesting post. I also like honey and I think it is a shame that there are people who make a fraud on this wonderful food. I think it is important to buy from a small, local bee farmer to be sure that you get real honey and not some fake glucose syrup with flavors. I rather pay extra to get real honey.

Also one thing, you write that honey should be put in warm water. It is important not to warm the water too much. If it is too hot the heat will destroy some of the antioxidants and/or the vitamins.

By the way, heard of Manuka honey? Frauds on Manuka honey are extremely common, but there are certified bee farmers. This is a honey with unique characteristics and has very good benefits on humans, especially regarding the immune system. Some scientists say it is as effective as antibiotics. If you haven't heard of it, check it up.
Cheers!
