Ingemar Germundsson from Glava believes that the domestic honey production is insufficient to meet demand, despite a larger than usual harvest and rising prices. He notes that consumer awareness of "fake honey" has increased, driving demand for local honey.

According to Biodlingsföretagarna, "fake honey" is prevalent in nearly all Swedish stores. Germundsson, who is also the vice chairman of the organization, describes it as essentially syrup and rice water, with many samples lacking even honey DNA after analysis at partnered laboratories.
