Did you know that a lot of so called honey for sale in the supermarkets isn't real honey at all but honey flavoured sugary water? This might not matter to some people but real honey has nutritional benefits that, obviously, aren't found in the fake honey. Price is the givaway as a jar of real honey is likely to cost upwards of three, or even four quid (and I'm not talking about Manuka honey which is something like twenty quid a jar)
.
Jars and squeezy bottles of 'honey' that cost little over a quid probably aren't the real thing. Runny honey will solidify if placed in the fridge for a day or so but the fake stuff won't solidify.
The price of honey has gone up over the past year or so because a lot of bees are dying off.
