The bottom line is money. Money to be made in funny honey. The finds which 
have been made in the U.S. involved some respected importers. Or at least 
they used to be respected.Also an interesting find of mine was there is no 
record (I could find) of what happened to the adulterated honey supposedly 
confiscated in the U.S.. One source said to me "Bob you do not want to know 
what happened to the honey". Quit looking!

Making money for many packers trumps putting a quality product on the shelf.

No wonder salad dressings have around 20 feet top to bottom of the shelves 
in Wal-Mart and honey has 3 feet on a single shelf. I wish I had pictures of 
the honey shelves 10 years ago, 20 years ago and on back. Honey sales is 
poorly promoted.
