zakaj je temu tako?

@@blazsovdat8677 Verjetno, ker je bila čebela od nekdaj zelo čislana.

But we don't have a special relationship with plums? Nor is slivovitz very popular here.

@@potatoO0o Hmmm. My wife's family are big lovers of Slivovitz. Maybe that comes from their Croatian side?

@@tedpreston4155 Probably

Slivovitz and plums are further south. In Slovenia you have other types of Schnaps. Like Honey brandy, Apple and Pear brandy, Juniper brandy, Grappa, Gin, Brandy brandy, Apricot brandy, Walnut brandy. Slivovitz is more popular in Bosnia and down south.

@@HibikiKano Thanks for the explanation! It seems my wife's family gets their love of Slivo from the Croatian side rather than the Slovenian side.

There was a Slovene that travelled up to the UK to try and save the British local black bees in the 19th century. If I remember the name will be sure to give you another comment with it. He did learn quite a bit from your bee keeping as well as thought our methods, so there was an exchange of practices.

Carniolan

It is native in Slovenia - Kranjska sivka - Apis mellifera carnica

Chinese "honey" isn't. The world's largest case of food adulteration on record. They use corn syrup, fructose almost anything except fully seasoned/capped honey. The even extract uncapped nectar from the comb and use dryers to reduce moisture down to honey levels (14%?) Chinese were caught multiple times selling HUGE amounts of adulterated "honey". Sanctions were imposed. Chinese then transshipped the honey to other countries and put that country as the source. International expert uncovered the fraud by analyzing the bits of pollen in the honey & determined it was Chinese. Then the Chinese fraudsters processed the "honey" by using very sophisticated membrane filters that remove 99% of pollen thus making it impossible to determine source or composition. Please, NEVER buy imported honey (sorry, even most NZ Manuka honey is fake😢). Support your local beekeepers and lobby local restaurants/bakeries to do the same. Signed, off & on Texas beekeeper

Luckily for the EU beekepers this is changing as the new legislation will come intp force soon to trace the country of origin and full honey traceability.

Yes ..China must be banned as they always cheat !!! It’s funny honey

I read a news article about that the other day... The numbers were crazy. 60% of all sold honey in Sweden (my country) was imported and 46% of all imported honey was fake according to EUs statistics... The fake stuff is cheap to produce but very unhealthy to consume

What is fake?
