And i was wondering how you would make artificial honey.

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Apparently its a huge market. You can buy artificial sugar syrup from China that mimics real honey sugars and just dilute your honey with that. In the EU at least the standard honey quality test doesn't detect it so no one knows how much diluted honey there is.

Does not seem too complicated.

I don't really eat or like honey, so i wonder what the difference is like. Because ut really seems pretty easy to leave bees alone.
