Fierce competition among Czech beekeepers: broken ribs and burning garages
Diluting with water, adding sugar or colouring with dyes. There are many ways to adulterate honey. It is a worldwide problem and it does not avoid the Czech Republic either. It is almost impossible to determine the extent of adulteration. What is certain, however, is that there is very fierce competition and striking practices on the local honey market. This is it, the promised land, flowing with milk and honeydew, as the myths say the Czech forefather said when he led his people to Mount Říp. It is no coincidence that the old man mentioned honey. For millennia, it was the only sweetener available, and it was attributed with miraculous healing powers.
