Most of those are just tests for moisture content. Pure honey can be 18-22% moisture content, depending on environmental conditions when the honey was produced. My 21% honey that I pulled from my own hives would fail most of those tests... Videos like this result in me having to refund money to my customers that purchased perfectly natural raw, unfiltered wildflower honey, but saw a video on KZbin that convinced them we sold them fake honey. Happens every year. Thank you so much..

@Cecilia Cole Unfortunately, there's not. The rice syrup that's used to cut Chinese honey is almost impossible to test for. Labs have developed a test that looks for specific enzymes. Best option is to not buy honey that's imported. China ships the fake honey to various countries to hide the country of origin. Unless you're in China, avoid any imported honey.

I am a beekeeper and I can tell you that some of these test will not help you distinguish between pure and none pure honey. To start, honey acts very different depending on the moisture content inside. Honey with a moisture content of 18% would fail some of these test like the thumb test and he air in jar test. It is common for pure bees honey to have around 18% moisture depending on where it was harvested. Warm honey would also fail the thumb test and air in jar test as honey consistency changes with temperature.

I haven't seen a single honey bee here yet in 4 years . But they sell "honey" on the streets etc . I bought some and it gave me acne Honey does not do that.

I grew up as a beekeeper's son (& hence, assistant) and am somewhat amused by these 'tests'. Honey is a variable substance, changing with temperature, depending heavily on floral source etc. It is also very hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air if allowed, thereby changing its viscosity. The rising air bubble test for one is nonesense. Try that with 100% pure granulated aloe honey for example.

Sorry. This is just wrong. You can not confirm the honey is real by those tests you described. Although you can tell by those, whether the honey is a good one or not. But this is also a matter of subjective taste prefferance. Honeys are different, depending on the season, different by year even, also, depending on altitude, flora of the region, beekeeper's technique.. For me, the best honey is the honey from the beehive that was not fed with sugar at the time of honey harvest and secondly, the wax compartments should be closed already by bees. This means honey is matured, water is evaporated or so to say honey is ready for the storage for the whole year or more. So you basically have to know the beekeeper well and to trust him. Still it is actually great that with this video you address the huge problem of faking honey, all around the world. Thank you. 🙏

Nice ideas but: you did not show the counter example. Also: Different honey have a different amount of water inside. Some really very good honey can be very light runny. It will not stick to your bread and flow down. Like acacia honey. Larch honey has quickly crystals like normal sugar as it contains little water. Bee die in winter if they have mostly this honey. I had bees by myself. When you feed them sugar for the winter then they add also things from the flowers and it tastes totally like honey. So sorry up to now I have not found something to proof if a honey is pure. Yet as I was working with bees I can quickly say because of the smell if it is a good honey or not. Normally people don‘t even notice a difference while I do.

it's not always the honey test that's true. It all depends on the water content in the honey produced by the bees.

Likewise, honey with a lot of water content in tropical countries, for example, differs in its adhesion and density with thicker honey. 🙏

Claims about adulterated honey were tested in Australia several years back, and found almost no evidence of adulterated honey in shops. So while this is widely believed, it isn't necessarily true. Choice Magazine prompted the investigation but the national regulator disputed the claims and maintains that the test used is not sufficiently accurate to be valid. (cant recall what it was offhand). Shooting from the hip, it looks to me that these 'tests' in the video prove nothing. Not least because this can only work if you already have samples of known 'pure' honey, and 'adulterated honey', and that appears to not be the case. Note that exactly what 'adulterated honey' means, is not known anyway; it could mean many different things, so it is not as if there are only two possible samples.

The thumb test can be altered by some cornstarch or thickening agent tho.

As a honey producer, I can assure you that these are not tests for pure honey.

Yeah not so much. You can dehydrate honey and syrup by leaving it open in air conditioning for a short time. Beekeepers can also feed sugar or HFCS to their bees and collect it also. The only and best sure way is to get your honey local from an honest beekeeper that only produces it the right way and at a fair price. There's far more small beeks around than you probably realize. Most not commercial sellers but have some that they let go of every season to help pay for the habit of keeping bees.

Dip a match stick in it then strike the match if this lighted up. It's pure.

A serious video would have a split screen, with each experiment done on the pure, and the non-pure honeys. That way, we don't have to blindly take your word. Has that even crossed your mind?

I found this video interesting but it leaves me with several questions. Honey can come from many different sources depending on what plants the bees pollinated. Does that make a difference as to the thickness of the honey? Plus is all honey filtered and does that make a difference in using these tests?

You can buy unfiltered, unheated honey.

This video is very misleading. The only way you're going to be sure if it's pure honey or not is through Laboratory testing, or if you got it directly from a bee keeper. The tests in this video leads to false negatives or false positives.

Many companies have gotten away with making many of the food products as denatured as possible in the name of profits. Most people are clueless of the unscrupulous games most food companies play to the detriment of the consuners' health. That is why we must be conscious about everything we consume on a daily basis in order to make proper decisions in regards to our health and wellbeing.
