Is It True That Many Honey Sellers Add Sugar To Their Honey?
Honey harvested from different floral sources in different parts of the world will have different tastes and colours. Some are naturally sweeter in taste than others due to their floral sources. Many beekeepers from countries that have winter weather feed sugar syrup to the bees during winter, when the bees are unable to forage for nectar due to the cold weather and lack of flowers. This also increases the honey’s sweetness and sucrose content. Our apiary has NEVER fed our bees with sugar syrup. Due to the mild climate in Western Australia, the bees are able to feed themselves naturally all year round.
