Have you ever heard of the ‘honey that has never seen a bee?

Did you know that some of the honeys sold in the market are not made by bees at all and are man-made, which are produced by heating water and sugar, and are called "honey never seen a bee" or "cooked honey"?

Or did you know that some people heat honey so that it does not become sugary or becomes darker as if it has higher healing properties in order to make it more popular with customers?

Unfortunately, heating honey turns it into a sweetened substance with no properties, and on the other hand, it produces a compound called hydroxymethyl furfural or HMF in honey.

HMF is a carcinogenic compound that is produced in food containing acid and sugar under improper storage and heating conditions, and the quality of honey can be determined by measuring its amount in food laboratories.
