COLLEGE STATION, Texas, April 30 (UPI) -- Honey from China is being shipped into the United States illegally to avoid expensive tariffs, a Texas scientist who tracks the origins of pollen alleges.

China, the world's largest honey producer, is sending honey to other countries for labeling and then into the United States to avoid paying U.S. tariffs of up to 500 percent, Vaughn Bryant, a Texas A&M professor, said.

I would not eat Chinese honey. They water it down with corn syrup, they use God knows what chemicals...all my honey comes from a local beekeeper. I'll be keeping bees myself when I can.
