REAL HONEY can cost up to P500 per 500 grams, beekeepers said, warning that anything priced significantly lower should be treated as suspicious, after the market was roiled by a government study that found up to 82% of domestic honey to be fake.
In a television interview Tuesday, Analinda M. Fajardo, research committee head of the Beekeepers Network Philippines Foundation, Inc., said real honey is heavy and typically costs P1 per gram.
âIn Manila⦠a half kilogram of honey is (worth) P500,â Ms. Fajardo said.
Ms. Fajardo said retail prices as low as P125 are not likely to be real honey.
