The competition watchdog has launched an urgent investigation into Australia's honey industry, saying allegations of "fake" honey are "very concerning".
How come they can't get their act together and get their 'investigations' into the petrol/fuel industry explained/controlled/fixed.
I guess the state of the honey industry/market is far more important than the fuel industry/market.
Jest sayin

Also about Dirty Fuel being Dumped in Australia because our watchdog does nothing about the fuel Industry.
I had a friend who came from Europe at the beginning of the year and asked about "The Fuel Price Cycle"
He burst out laughing when told it goes up when more people buy and down when less purchase their fuel.

The government is unlikely to investigate price gouging at the fuel pump when they are probably the worst offenders with their taxes.

I recall that there have been a number of enquiries re collusion between oil companies and price fixing. But there was no evidence. These days you can use a number of apps to check the fuel price before filling up.
On the other hand, if I buy honey, and the label says it contains only honey, then I expect it to be honey. Not some artificial yellow coloured substance pretending to be honey, because that is misleading advertising.

No processing just pure honey.

Wonder if the fake honey people know about the fake maple syrup product. Maple Syrup is a pure product as per honey. However it is expensive. Hence there is a cheaper substitute product made from corn syrup. Most supermarkets sell both but you have to read the fine print and the prices to determine which is which. Wonder if some people think there must be a fake and real honey?

You just reminded me LLD.About 20 yrs ago Capilano marketed a range of flavoured honeys including a maple syrup flavoured honey. The full range was pretty extensive and I bought several squeeze jars of each for a fund-raising morning tea. After a few months, most of the opened left-overs tasted like - you guessed it - honey.

The other end, jebs ............. the OTHER end
Bees start making honey, which is their food, by visiting flowers. They collect a sugary juice called nectar from the blossom by sucking it out with their tongues. They store it in what's called their honey stomach, which is different from their food stomach.
When they have a full load, they fly back to the hive. There, they pass it on through their mouths to other worker bees who chew it for about half an hour. It's passed from bee to bee, until it gradually turns into honey. Then the bees store it in honeycomb cells, which are like tiny jars made of wax. The honey is still a bit wet, so they fan it with their wings to make it dry out and become more sticky. When it's ready, they seal the cell with a wax lid to keep it clean.

That's how the article here begins.
