Colony Collapse Disorder
Bees have been dying off around the world for more than a decade now, and unscrupulous vendors have taken advantage by selling honey tainted with lead and antibiotics (hat tip to the Father of the Flea).
In a new report by Food Safety News, more than 75 percent of the honey on American supermarket shelves may be ultra-processed—to the point that all inherent medicinal properties are completely gone—and then smuggled into the country by the barrel drum. Nearly all of this fake honey is made in China. Some of these brokers will even create bogus country of origin papers. All 60 jars of "honey" tested by FSN came back negative for pollen (including Sue Bee and Winnie the Pooh brands), which is a clear sign of ultra-processing.
