But possibly the bulk of dedicated people who eat honey for health would be,  if the large producers switched to selling jarred honey with their own brand label, instead of selling off cheaply in bulk for blending with dubious imported stuff.  We have been told before that packers need best honey to bring imports up to a sellable standard.  So just stop supplying such packers - and the foriegn stuff will  become commercially useless.  
We were also told earleier that home honey producers have a moral duty to enable packers to blend up cheap honey for mass consumption.  What a hoot! Honey producers should maintain the quality of their product above all else - or deserve to go down the pan.
