From the BBC website. The Guardian has a long article.
"The World Beekeeping Awards have announced that there will not be any prizes for honey next year because of concerns about fraud in the global supply chain.
It'll be the first time that the popular cupboard staple has been excluded from the event.
Apimondia - the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations - said in a statement that the change was "necessitated by the inability to have honey fully tested for adulteration". "
I can't see anything on the Apimonda website about it, however adulteration has been going on for years. Let's hope that it can be stamped out.

May your bees read the same books as you do.
