I do not recall a response to your question. Fermented honey is not good 
for bees and should not be fed to them.

As far as tests, I defer to the experts, but my guess is the moisture 
content would be a good indicator if you have a before and after 
reading. Higher moisture could indicate fermentation. If the honey is 
thinner than usual I would suspect fermentation. But that is also an 
indicator of honeydew honey which is exceptional.

Like I said, I defer to the experts.
