Beekeeper and hobbyist honey farmer Joe Joseph

Monday, 20 May this year, was World Bee Day. Lab tests showed that half the Australian honey on supermarket shelves had been "adulterated" or mixed with other substances. SBS Assyrian talked to bee keeper, Joe Joseph, who has years of experience making honey as a hobby. He says that new regulations and tests must be implemented so that the industry is regulated and consumers are aware of the source of honey they are buying off supermarket shelves.
