Honey from China
Chinese honey, 500 g.: (http://i64.tinypic.com/vope95.jpg). We like honey. (I like honey with yogurt. We're making yogurt at home.)

Let me add one more photo of this Chinese honey: (http://i63.tinypic.com/25pk1f8.jpg). :)

Here, you can never be sure what you are buying is actually real honey. That is unless you go to the bee keeper to get it. In fact it's something of a scandal over it.
Honey is processed here. In many cases, the pollens that are buried in the honey are removed so that those allergic to them don't get a reaction (and therefore a legal liability from the producer of the product). However, taking out the pollens also affects the taste of the honey. There are also now ways to create artifical honey, which is then sold as the real mccoy. You wind up paying a premium price for a product you are not getting.
Then too, much of our food supply has politics involved. Sugar is a prime example of that. Here sugar prices are held artificially high. Other sources could supply sugar at much cheaper prices than what we as a nation pay for it but it is done to keep the sugar farmers from loosing their farms.
In the same way, some countries are not allowed to sell products in the US due to the same political intervention. Removing the pollen out of the honey often removes the traces that could identify where the source of the honey came from.

Interesting information! Thank you!
All I know about the honey is it's a comparatively expensive food in China, according to my shopping experience.

I'm very glad, when I see not only the stats (for example the current one for this topic of mine is

Thank you for the interesting and informative posting!
