Bees are very resourceful they do what it takes to survive . After investigating, they discovered their bees were feeding on the colourful shells of M&Ms - a Mars processing plant was located 4 km away from the bees in France. The photo shows how easy it is for Beekeepers to cheat. Bees can store sugar syrups the same way they can store nectar from flowers. In 2015 10,000,000 kgs of "honey" was imported into Australia and a lot of this honey is suspected to be adulterated. As scientific analysis improve to find fraudulent honey so do the perpetrators and much of this honey gets ultra-filtered and blended. This honey lacks medicinal benefits and can not be traced. The world honey price recently dropped just like the global milk prices. In New Zealand this has not effected their honey price but in Australia because we import so much honey and also export blends as product of Australia our price has dropped. Capiliano ltd a 170 million dollar corporation with close to a monopoly on honey outlets have dropped the price of honey this week and commercial beekeepers are furious. While NZ beekeepers get $11 our beekeepers are getting $5. Please try to buy honey direct from the beekeeper where possible or buy from a company that does not import honey. Use the honey map. https://goo.gl/5Av8vo Bees need to be honoured and respected sugar syrups are unhealthy to bees. Sugar syrups are also unhealthy for our children. I have been contacted by Andre 0413 497 911 in Victoria http://www.australian-natural.com.au He will purchase honey only from Australian producers. He will also bottles honey for all size producers. The future is in buying produce direct so farmers and consumers can benefit . We are enemies of today’s corporate system for the exploitation of farmers, with its unfair prices, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility to Australian consumers , and we are determined to change this system.
