There's a huge problem with honey labeling—often the packaged product labeled as honey is indeed mostly a cheaper sweetener.

Just to add a little more context, the international honey market is incredibly fraught; lead, antibiotics (including chloramphenicol, which can cause fatal reactions in humans) and artificial sweeteners are all commonly found in Chinese-sourced honey, much of which is transshipped through India and East Asian nations. The upshot: buy from local honey producers with known quality.
