Dear Bee-L readers
    This message was sent to me probably because I attended the SIAL food
show in Paris last month as a participant in the National Honey Board booth.
The experience was enlighting. This show is billed as the worlds largest
food show. I made contact with at least 40 other honey peddlers from all
over the world. I also heard about the huge problem of counterfit honey and
the inability to detect the counterfit honey. I previously did not know this
was such a huge problem. When I returned home I got a first hand experience
with the problem. I went to the all american Kentucky Fried Chicken shop and
ordered a biscuit with honey. I was given a package of something called "
Honey Sauce" the ingredient statement includued High Fructose Corn Syrup,
Suger, corn syrup, malt flavoring and coloring.
    I pass this information along as a wake up call as to another huge
problem plaguing beekeepers in America today.
    Anyone interested in "Pure Hawaii Honey " from the tropical flowers
found in Hawaii?
Wishing everyone a Happy holiday season.

            Aloha Walter in Hawaii
