Economic Dumping and the Honey Industry
Foreign countries with the intent of crashing the honey industry in the late 1990s sold honey to US markets under the cost of production. This forced many beekeepers out of the industry even after laws to protect the industry were put in place.
To this day, less than scrupulous countries blend honey and ship it to be sold in US markets undetected, flooding the market and forcing beekeepers to sell their products for less. To stop this activity you should always buy your honey RAW and LOCAL from known apiaries and beekeepers.
Many bulk blenders and store brands do not inspect their honey for rice syrup or corn syrup blending, which is the reason why it is so inexpensive compared to other brands. Support your local beekeeper and know exactly what you are getting.
