I like the idea of snapping a pic of my honey on a mobile phone and uploading it the wherever and receiving the results back pronto - or am I living in cloud-cuckoo-land?
Be careful what you wish for. If, and its a big if, a new method was made available to all, firstly I doubt it would take long for the adulterators to come up with some way of masking this and secondly if some producers / beekeepers start publishing their anti adulteration analysis it may raise the question in the publics mind that anyone who doesn't test is up to no good. I doubt it will be free to analyses either. how much would you be prepared to pay for each lot you bottled?
Personally I think its a debate to steer well clear of, let the bulk honey blenders / producers worry about this and for UK honey producers, small and larger, to champion the local provenance.
