Beekeepers can often be seen on the roadside, is the honey they sell real?

Now there are fewer and fewer people in the city. It is not uncommon to see beehives selling honey in tow. A total of a dozen boxes of such fake bees.

Many times, they are sold in a barrel, a barrel of 10 catties. I'm always frustrated how many boxes of bees can produce so much honey? Impossible!

So it's all fake. Many times, we can't tell intuitively, it's like leading a cow to sell milk. Does it have to be real milk?

Real people don't need to pretend at all, it's just facts, so the more they flaunt their lies, the more they flaunt them. Next to the Liaoning, Qingnan, and Water-to-North Diversion Communes, you can see a few characters every day. They wore overalls, hard hats, and held several kings in their hands, on which they were deliberately soiled with mud.

Freshly fished out of the river is indeed wild. It was these people every day, and then everyone knew. Their Internet cafes are all market-ready.

We often meet older people who always feel the most reliable. People ignore the bad guys getting old. In fact, each of us believes in the elderly, but the old people nowadays are not necessarily kind.

Now I finally get it. These people are more treacherous and cunning, and it is true that the bad guys are old. Bees must have a large number of nectar sources to collect honey, and these nectar sources must be large.

It's not that you can collect nectar in two trees or a one-month seasonal flower pond. I said in Bee Magazine that one gram of honey requires 1,500 to 1,600 flowers to collect, so you can know how many nectar source plants are needed for the apiary. We beekeepers generally have to collect more and better honey from the flowers in the mountains and rivers, and the roadside bees around the city do not have the conditions to collect honey, and even if there are mud bees on the dust flowers everywhere, there is no way to collect honey.

If there is a nectar source, there must be bees. You can go to the bee colony and take a closer look. Bees are busy coming in and out, indicating that the colony is stronger.

If two or three bees fly a minute, it means that there are not many bees in this group, and this apiary may be selling dog meat with sheep's heads, and honey cannot be collected without strong bees. I've seen bee farms now. There were only a few boxes around the tent, and the others were empty.

This kind of thing is not our beekeeping industry, so to speak, reselling honey. Quality really can't be guaranteed. Here's the technical point:

Honey harvesting comes back. Because the honey is very loud when you pick it, you can buzz in the bee farm when you pick it.

In fact, there are many shops selling honey on the roadside, and in most cases, there is very little real honey. One cannot be fooled by the seller's several rows of honeycombs and erected tents. Most of them don't look at the beehives when they see the beehives, and do everything possible to prevent customers from opening the beehives, emphasizing that the bees have gone out to collect honey, they are definitely fake beekeepers, and of course the honey is fake.

These honeys are usually made by adding sugar, sticking agents, citric acid, and incense in water, boiling them over a fire, and then adding coloring to adjust the color.

Not necessarily. Some people sell what is real, some people sell fake, and it cannot be generalized.

If you meet these beekeepers on the side of the road deep in the mountains, you may have met real beekeepers, after all, they are in the mountains, which is a pollution-free area, and it is normal to meet beekeepers. Such honey is worth buying.

Most of them are fake, they lie that they are beekeepers, and the local honey they sell may not be as good as the honey sold in the supermarket.

Real honey that can be.

Color: transparent or translucent.

Smell: Special aromatic aroma.

Taste: Sweet and delicious, with a sticky mouthfeel.

Shape: viscous liquid, drawn viscous filament, continuous flow, low temperature (below 10 degrees) crystallization Specific gravity: times that of water, 1000 ml is about kilograms.

Combustion: Burn thoroughly, with very little powder residue.

Exposure: Thinning after sunburn.

Chewing: Crystalline particles bite like crispy teeth, and melt when you contain them.

Fake honey color: cloudy, bright color, light yellow or dark yellow.

Odor: No aromatic or pungent odor.

Palate: Light or sweet or salty or astringent, no aromatic flavor.

Shape: there are suspended solids or precipitation, small viscosity, easy to break the flow, and the specific gravity of the drop is picked by a spoon: slightly heavier than water, about 1000 ml.

Combustion: more ash, coke-like residue.

Exposure: No noticeable change or more viscous.

Chewing: Crystalline blocks chew like granulated sugar, with a crisp and loud sound.

Four ways to identify real and fake honey

The survey found that in some food wholesale markets, fake honey, fake royal jelly and other bee products can be found everywhere. According to reports, there are currently four main methods of honey counterfeiting: first, sugar is boiled with water and sulfuric acid; the second is to use less sugar, use more water, and add thickeners to increase the depth of fake honey; the third is to use caramel and syrup to directly pass off as honey; Fourth, add color thickener with syrup.

To this end, food experts teach consumers 4 simple identification methods: one is to look at the color: the color of real honey does not look very bright, white, light yellow or amber, light color is better; Fake honey is bright in color, generally light yellow or dark yellow.

Look at the shape: real honey provokes visible flexible filaments that flow constantly. Fake honey has suspended solids or precipitation, and when provoked, it falls in a drip-like manner, and there is a broken flow.

Look at the label: Where the ingredient list is filled with sugar, fructose syrup and other ingredients, it should be fake honey. The second is to smell, real honey has a faint floral fragrance of plant flavor; Fake honey smells pungent or fruity sugar.

The third is to taste, the real honey is sweet and delicious, with a slight sour taste, and the crystalline block is crispy when biting, and it melts when it is contained; Fake honey has a bitter or chemical taste, no aromatic taste, crystalline chunks chew like granulated sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud. The fourth is "hot water dissolving", put a spoonful of honey into the cup, add four to five times the hot water to dissolve, and let it stand for three to four hours if there is no precipitation, it is pure honey and good honey.

Yes, but to understand the mature honey and the experience and taste of eating honey, etc., those who have eaten pure honey can taste the taste, unless they have never eaten it in this life, and then a honey will crystallize naturally, and you can't go wrong if you don't buy it and buy the crystallized honey.

Not necessarily, sometimes the sugar is diluted and fed to the bees, and the bees spit it out and turn it into honey, but it's better than just adding the black honey.

Yes, I am a Hakka, and the beekeepers in the mountains of my hometown have natural nectar!

If you want to sell pure natural honey to me, zero additives.

Of course you can, a lot of beekeepers can't sell out of real honey, there is really no need to sell fake honey or honey mixed with sugar and water, and this kind of honey is also easy to deteriorate, isn't it a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. I've been raising bees for 20 years and I've never sold bad honey.

Not necessarily. Fake honey has always been a cancer in the honey industry, not only making the honey industry criticized, but even anti-customer quickly occupy the honey market, resulting in many beekeepers producing good honey can not be sold. However, many beekeepers are still in a state of stragglers, due to the best reasons, in the contradiction of "beekeepers' high-quality honey is difficult to sell, and enterprises' high-quality honey is difficult to buy", and the situation of mutual benefit and win-win between enterprises and beekeepers is very fragile.

Hello, I know a beekeeper, I have bought his honey, it is very delicious, if you want to eat, you can chat with me privately.

This is not necessarily, beware of fake beekeepers, and the quality of honey is high, it is recommended that you take a look at the honey of Moriyama farmers
