OoooEeee!  With recent mention of adulteration, UF blending onshore, and
hidden Chinese honey, it looks like we are probing near the bone.

A 'Catch the Buzz' article just came into my mailbox about a scandal
unfolding in Aus. (For an archive Catch the Buzz postings, visit:

I'm also getting email about a packer in Florida, and also mention of
chloramphenicol residues in the honey left honey drums being sent to out
to US beekeepers (and beekeepers worldwide, I guess) for filling, and
the warning: wash all drums really well, lest that residue contaminate
the new domestic crop!

Contamination and adulteration are coming front and centre these days.
As my French teacher used to say, "A word to the wise is sufficient".
