They also use an antibiotic to control afb , this is banned in the Uk for human use . Also the honey still carry’s afb spores, meaning that access to it by uk bees equals an out break .I read an article years ago about Chinese honey. I don't think I was a beekeeper then. This precisely what they do. There are 'bee factories' where billions of bees are kept. They are fed sugar syrup that they turn into 'honey.' It is no different from any other factory farming involving other animals. Obviously the produce lacks just about every other ingredient of proper honey, made by bees, operating in a natural environment.
it’s no coincidence that out breaks tend to start close to packing stationed with poor bio security !
