recent years, the market, more and more types of honey, bee products stores open all over the streets. It is understood that, in 2009, China's honey production 18 million tons, of which more than half are sold in the country. newspaper joint  survey also showed that 92.25% of people used to buy honey. could the past few years, quality inspection departments, the business sector seized fake honey mixed with the syrup was continuously exposed ; a few days ago, more people said the Internet postings, the so-called Why despite repeated prohibitions on the market? grove of poplar in the area, more than 80 hives placed into five or six rows. reporter saw him, he was wearing a mask, pulled out one from the beehive Pizi covered with bees, scrape the excess above the hive. a beehive Operators a swarm of bees in the country, bee-keeping more than 60 groups, that is, a professional bee farm. Du Daye's bee farm operators in the medium-sized professional bee, bee farm in the country like the most, accounting for about 80%, it is their for the major brands of honey provides the main nectar source.
some brands of honey beekeepers manufacturers will be there to receive their own honey, and some honey is sold to individuals, who then sold to manufacturers. closing time generally the concentration of honey, sugar and other testing. method. fructose syrup or corn syrup, sweet elements, coupled with consumption of pectin and other viscous agents, cost only a few dollars, but the real transfer out of honey, sweeter than honey, more sticky, no experience, people do not see ! Lilly honey, adulteration more. in the identification of honey, the beekeepers in the eyes of the old special increasing the intensity of fake honey, but the individual supermarket is still a lot of false honey, and honey in the more upscale, more fake.
Duda Ye said true? Society of the Fifth China Bee session of the director, has 20 years of experience in bee-keeping experts Wangfeng He told reporters that he has witnessed over the past beekeepers brewed with honey syrup added. fructose syrup is very sweet, layman from the taste, shape are distinguished not come out. Market pure honey on average 20 dollars or more a pound, add the syrup is sold more than ten dollars, and some honey is completely blended with the syrup, and less expensive. For these fake honey, large factories, the equipment can be detected However, small manufacturers often get away. there is a false way to feed bees sugar water in the flow more likely to occur among Fangfeng. China Bee Products Association, who declined to name the experts also acknowledged that companies do have To reduce costs, to the honey syrup artificial situation in Riga, mostly corn syrup, etc., because they are low prices, but are single sugar, and honey, similar to the basic structure of the general good resolution. bucket of honey and sugar more than 20% in order to make to the money.

some honey does not exist on the market in recent years honey, in addition to Sophorae honey, Date Honey, linden tree honey, longan honey and other old varieties, growing new varieties. newspaper The survey also shows that we often buy the honey, apple nectar ranked first, accounting for 13.79%, followed by berberine honey, honey, and honeysuckle honey Sophora japonica L., which accounted for 12.93%, 11.03% and 8.28%.
However, This year in April, a the sale of honeysuckle, snow lotus, apple flower honey, do not exist. this Wangfeng He believes that the bees activities generally above 18 ℃, 20 ℃ or older to gather honey, so nectar is definitely snow lotus can not be directly taken to the. general can spend a few pounds out of honey, apple blossom only the three or four pounds, did not reach the honey production of goods. And honeysuckle honey, he thought there may be a rose on the market today, like honey, are used bud of the bud soaked in the honey out of the high concentration, though also contains the essence of flowers, but the direct mining of honey and bees are not the same concept. China Bee Association, told reporters that experts, in addition to the three other than honey, such as Scrophulariaceae flowers, usually taken in the natural cases, not honey; ginkgo flower itself is not honey, honey on the market most of Ginkgo biloba extract added. Duda Ye said, adding that, like pear and apple flowers, but also produce no goods honey; Motherwort flowers can only play in exceptional years when honey bees under normal circumstances only enough for their own consumption; osmanthus most are not natural honey honey, but with the bud soaked. , the flower petals are not easy to have a lot of honey. China Bee Association, experts point out that honey is a food, at any time, can not speak on the effectiveness of propaganda. Although the Chinese have spent on that part of the plant property, but such as Codonopsis honey drink, and eat the role of Codonopsis is completely the same. between different types of honey, the difference on the nutritional value is not great. Runchang all have the role of honey in which the simple sugar easily absorbed, more suitable for the elderly, and dyspepsia.
honey contains Antibiotics
honey compared to sham, even a real honey, which contains antibiotics and heavy metals, pesticide residues problem is more worrying. Wangfeng He said most of the bees imported from abroad, the incidence rate is relatively high, although the state to promote biological control, but there are still some people with chemical drugs, antibiotics to treat a bee, leading to higher levels of antibiotics in honey. This is very serious in the past, and now exports more stringent testing of honey, honey, but domestic sales are not doing enough as an indicator of the high cost of testing, and for a long time. Du Daye said it was his understanding, now in a number of beekeepers, the bees feed to the sick penicillin, tetracycline and other antibiotics are still very common situation.
for this situation, the Chinese Association of experts has not bee denied, but said that under the new Italian bee), the the bee (a native bee species in China) Basic living in mountainous areas, adopted plant pollution is relatively small, so the honey, wild honey in a variety of soil residues of harmful substances with less.
is not possible to be false crystal how to identify fake honey honey
, experts offer some tips: First hand twist. sticky hands, sticky honey is true, add the sugar, open, twist, or particles feeling Luo, no, sticky. The second is a drop of honey on a napkin, if Yin opened, indicating a relatively high water content of honey. Third, if you can not open the bottle in the supermarket, you can look at the top is honey bubbles, if any, that honey in the water large enough concentration of lead or stored too long fermentation, so the honey shelf is short, easily broken. Fourth, many people think that the crystallization of honey is not good, in fact, apart from Sophora japonica L. honey Date Honey other than the majority of honey after processing at low temperatures are prone to crystallization, which is not crystallized honey may be false.
general, honey can be kept for 3 years or so, save without the fridge, they will not crystallization; sure to tighten the lid, otherwise the air inside is easily oxidized, it will destroy its nutrients. If you want to eat then honey bees can go to market to buy, but the best choice for local beekeepers, farmers markets and outdoor stand selling best not to buy honey in bulk.
