If there is honey in the supers, any rational beekeeper in our country
is going to take it off, not play with it.

Or???"

I am looking forward to harvesting a honey crop in a few weeks time 
when the weather is a bit warmer and there is some early forage 
available for the bees.  This will be from my TBH on an organic 
permacultural site and it will be all the bees' own work with no 
possibility of contamination from added sugar.  My harvest will be the 
honey that has been demonstrated to be surplus to the bees' own 
requirements.

I did take a little a couple of months ago, as a visiting Honey Queen 
 from Ireland dug a finger in and declared it to be the best honey she 
had every tasted!  She demanded a sample to take back with her to put 
under the microscope, but I suspect it has all been eaten by now.
