Consumers stung by falsely labeled honey would get new protections under a
bill introduced in the Legislature last week.

The state's beekeepers say the proposal would help smoke out supposed
"honey" products that actually contain corn syrup or even dangerous
antibiotics.

"They're essentially using honey's name as a natural health product," said
Tim Fulton, a Kenosha beekeeper and president of the Wisconsin Honey
Producers Association. But with some products, "it has so little honey that
it's laughable."
