Clickbait title. What the article says is that honey made by Kelulut bees, which is considered a premium product, is being counterfeited by taking regular honey and adding things like vinegar to it to try and make it taste the same.

The honey is still real honey, it’s just not made by Kelulut bees.

And i was wondering how you would make artificial honey.

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 2 points 8 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.

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.
