     My customers look for the particles of pollen and wax on the top of the
honey; that way they know it is real.  Perhaps you could make up a computer
side label explaining that YOUR honey isn't heated too hot and PRESSURE
filtered to remove every bit of the good stuff. You have merely strained it.
 I firmly believe that the honey that wins the honey contest is not the best
quality honey. It *should* look a bit cloudy, and have some particles
floating on it.
