The Chinese and Indians have dumped tons of the stuff on our markets, some of it containing illegal antibiotics and heavy metals. Without the pollen - honey's "fingerprint" - it's nearly impossible to tell where your honey came from. Bleh. (Source here.)

Buy local honey from a trusted beekeeper if you can.

How's that, Sir, for a sales pitch for Stuart's honey?

Wow, you learn something new everyday! .... Will purchase local from now on.
