You should listen to the link above on honey-laundering.
10 years ago I went in search for bulk honey for a group order. I found a business that carried my state brand and thought it would be a great source for local honey. I had a whole group of my friends with me and we swarmed in to see what we could buy. We found several items to take home to sample before
investing $1,000's for our group purchase and I'm so glad we did! It was terrible! The honey tasted like sulphured molasses. I threw it out. The label, that I neglected to read in the first place, showed that the honey was a conglomerate mixture of honey from a bunch of foreign countries - countries from which I would not buy honey because I don't know their food regulations.
After listening to NPR today, I'm glad that I chose way back then to be selective! I now read all labels, and I found a wonderful beekeeper an hour away.
