Hahahahaha yea I noticed that to that can't be real
When I lived in Edmonton. There was a house that was doing honey. We always bought from them. Pure, homemade and the taste was just ridiculously good. They weren't big enough to sale in big quantity. Don't be fooled by those grocery store honey. Go homemade and you will be doing yourself a favor. Honey isn't something worth saving a few bucks on. Go pure.

I think the canadian honey producers should take a page out of the dairy farmers book. Have on their bottles a canadian logo saying "honey made in Canada "
I buy my honey from local beekeepers. Never from a store.

Pouring it into a glass of water will show if it's pure Honey. It won't mix with the Water.

Test it yourself. You could boil it on a spoon. It should go back to it's original form after it cools down. You can also pour it into a glass of water. It should ball up at the bottom and not mix with the water, even if you stir it. It should go back to a ball of Honey. Pour Honey on a plate and then water over top and you'll see a Honeycomb shape pattern on the Honey.
I'd buy local if I could tell which companies were in fact local and legitimate.

Try farmer's market in the summertime and ask questions about the honey, the farmers will proudly answer all the questions, they even offer you taste simples if there are different varieties on the table.

I only buy honey from the farmers market, I got introduced to basswood honey several years ago and OMG it's so lovely. Too bad the farmer retired since then I couldn't find any basswood honey from my local farmers market, but sunflower honey is also decent.
Good job 👍 I think what you are doing is very important, thank you ,

Nothing compares to the taste and textures of genuine honey. Amazing. So sad there’s bs honey and maple syrups everywhere, full of glucose crap and sugars. 😔
Wow thank you Peter for doing this... I am having trouble finding his business can anyone help?.... Ohh I found it, worker bee honey company in BC

capillano of australia is also suspicious now, they have so many everywhere and different prices, even online has so many of that and some are expensive some cheap but exactly same bottle. I saw in a video that australia is also ordering honey from others so they can't possibly know if it is pure. Even big time memebership groceries are not sure of what they are supplying.

What? Really? I thought that the IP that China was interested in was mostly tech and not food. Well.... there you have it.

China cannot export honey directly to Canada because it doesn't meet Canada's standards. How it come that it meets the standards via a third country? It is the same honey. Does Canada have higher standards on products imported from China?
@almac9203

Canada and America have banned Chinese honey so what China do is export it to a third country and change the labels and pretend it was from the third country. The Chinese honey is known to be diluted with rice Syrup and the honey has banned antibiotics. If it comes from a third party country they probably don't test it that much because they trust the third country.
“Majority of people say it’s China”? Where’s the evidence
