This is false. I'd be willing to wager substantial amounts of money on my ability to differentiate good acacia honey from sugar syrup.

Here is an article summarizing the composition of a variety of acacia honeys.

Its mostly sugar water (syrup), but there is more to it.

What about acacia flavoured sugar syrup?
you don't need to wager substantial amounts of money, just buy honey, eat it, and you'll be able to tell if it's the real thing, enjoy if it is; return it if you're dissatisfied.

Be sure to tell the authors of this article and the officials at these judging conventions that you don't know what they're on about.
