The Union of Beekeepers of Spain (UCCL) is taking steps to ensure the quality and authenticity of honey sold in the country, following concerns over the origin of Spanish honey. UCCL's head of beekeeping, Juan Carlos Pérez Domingo, emphasizes the need to maintain the reputation of Spanish honey as a high-quality product and to differentiate it from lower-quality products. The organization has identified over 30 products from other countries that fail to meet modern analytical standards and are marketed as honey, a practice UCCL views as unfair competition. This situation is damaging the market for Spanish honey and could potentially harm beekeepers financially.
