submerge a matchstick in a honey sample and if still lights up when you scratch it then its the real thing! - Old Philippine Way
You can test the authenticity of honey by doing a few simple tests: purity test (add water and observe if honey dissolves quickly), thumb test (if honey sticks to the thumb and doesn't spread, it's pure), flame test (dip a matchstick in honey and light it, pure honey will burn), water test (if honey dissolves in water, it's not pure), and taste test (pure honey has a distinct taste and aroma).
yes, its pollinated by honey bees but the honey produces is considered to be of a lower quality and is often used to dilute higher quality honey such as citrus.
It depends on the quality of the honey. Better quality honey has less water than worse quality honey. It, usually has about 18% water.
Resorcinol is used to test honey to see if sugar has been added to the honey. After adding the solution of resorcinol to the honey boil it, if the mixture turns red it means sugar is added and the honey is not pure.
Honey is not a reliable way to test gold. Most people use the scratch test and the acid test based on karats.
The price of a kilo of honey can vary depending on the brand, quality, and location. On average, you can expect to pay around $10 to $20 per kilo for high-quality honey.
Mold on honey can affect its quality and safety for consumption by producing toxins that can be harmful to health. It is important to discard honey with mold to avoid potential health risks.
An acid test is a rigorous test of the quality or value of something.
To ensure the quality and longevity of honey, store it in a sealed container at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture. Honey does not spoil, but storing it properly can prevent crystallization and maintain its flavor and texture.

There are few homely ways you can check the purity of honey. Please try the following:1. Take a teaspoon of the honey and put in a glass full of water. Adulterated honey will dissolve in the water easily, but pure honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass as lumps for having more dense texture.2. Dip a cotton pad cotton wick into a bit of the honey, then attempt to light the cotton pad or wick in fire probably in a candle. If it burns easily, then it probably has no added water. If it refuses to burn or makes a cracking sound instead, water may have been added.
