The flavor of natural bee honey

Natural honey does not taste like sugar, and in addition to a particular sweetness, it also has a special taste. To distinguish natural honey from counterfeit, artificial honey often gives the taste of sugar instead of pure honey, which is one of the signs of natural honey.

Water is a simple way to distinguish natural honey from counterfeit honey:

Pour honey in cold water. You will notice that natural bee honey retains its full adhesion and dissolves very hard and slowly in cold water, but counterfeit honey dissolves quickly in water.

Another way to distinguish genuine honey from counterfeit honey is that if you pour honey into a glass of water if it collects at the bottom of the glass and does not dissolve quickly, honey is regular. Still, if honey is dissolved in water at that time, it indicates that it is counterfeit.
