People will cheat at anything.
The World Beekeeping Awards have announced that there will not be any prizes for honey next year because of concerns about fraud in the global supply chain.
It’ll be the first time that the popular cupboard staple has been excluded from the event.
Apimondia – the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations – said in a statement that the change was “necessitated by the inability to have honey fully tested for adulteration”.
This decision comes after previous years’ events proved that “adequate testing was impossible” as well as recent investigations which showed the sticky situation that importers have found themselves in.
That isn’t the chief award for the Beekeeping Awards? Liberals will award anything and everything today. Do all the bees get little participation awards too?
