Hello All,
If  you are dealling with honey from countries such as China you need to
process like most large packers do to insure a safe product.

Many articles have been done about the Chinese beekeeper and his methods.

Dust, filth, honey storage in recycled oil drums, dead bees , insects and
not to forget mice are often found in the honey *Before* processed  in
China.

Acording to the many American Bee Journal articles on beekeeping in China
the Chinese beekeeper for the most part extracts his honey in a tent with a
dirt floor without hot or at times running water.

 China takes all honey produced and processes the honey.

When the packer/buyer sees the product the honey looks very different.

Bob

Ps. Is the Chinese honey different flavor & aroma really because of the
honey comes from a flower you never heard of in the U.S. ?
