The surface of pure stone honey is made of small particles instead of honeycomb eyes. Each particle is very smooth and evenly arranged. This is the most obvious difference between real and fake stone honey. In addition, pure stone honey is white in color and has a pure taste; while fake stone honey is slightly yellow and has a peculiar smell. Staff from the Yantai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau reminded that to identify the authenticity of honey, you must first look at the price. Do not buy if the price is too low to avoid being cheated.
Stone honey is honey brewed by wild bees. It is in solid form and is also called stone syrup and rock honey. It has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and can treat coughs, bronchitis and other diseases. Real stone honey is mostly produced on the cliff tops of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is difficult to collect, scarce in quantity, and expensive.
