Bob, I've mentioned that I do tree trimming, and one of the big arborist
firms subs out their bee trees to me. I keep that honey apart for the
super health food types. I mash everthing up with bee gloves on so I don't
get stung, then warm it slightly and put through mesh to take out the
bigger particles. Then I cream it because there's so much non-honey
floating around in the resulting product. There's lots of pollen and I
assume propolis, (and sawdust, etc..) but the big selling point is the
smell. All I have to do is to open a jar and let the person smell it, and
I usually sell out quickly. I'm not sure what the reason is, but it's
smell is delightful.

So rather than argue with the hard core types, I just shrug and say I keep
this stuff for the purists, point to it and say I ask a little more money
for it because it's supply is so limited and the creaming process is time
comsuming, and their happy and I'm happy. And I would expect this is done
more honestly than the product you mentioned, but it will be interesting
to see whether it's some sort of gimmick or not.
