I am not sure how you can call it honey. For most of the world, at least to my limited knowledge, the process from nectar to capped cells to extraction is the same, so the Chines process is not. Bob's criticism is correct an the criticism of his comments do not track with what he said. Nothing really new here. I know I have read some threads and come away with an entirely different opinion of what was actually said, because, somehow, there was a complete disconnect between the written word and my central processor. Usually because I make my mind up before thinking. Might even be true here too.
