Chris  has hit on a VERY good idea. I feel that dying sugar water with green 
dye  would be the best way to keep sugar water out of honey without  any
question.



It's not my idea. It's been done before. When sugar was rationed after the  
War (WWII) beekeepers were given an extra ration which was dyed green to 
prevent  misappropriation. The following year there was a lot of green honey about!
