He added: “True Source Honey is committed to ensuring that honey is sourced in a transparent and traceable manner and is authentic.” The beekeepers have also accused Intertek Testing Services, in whose laboratory the honey is tested, and the certification scheme auditors NSF International of colluding in the million-dollar crime by using and approving outdated methods to detect fake honey.

Busy Bees could not operate in China without a local business partner and Mr Woodward confesses: “In my opinion, you need a local management team wherever you go in the world.” John Woodward, Busy Bees’ co-founder and managing director, oversaw the Singapore and Malaysia nurseries for Knowledge Universe in 2013. He used the attitude gained from opening the group’s first UK nursery in 1984. “We were a bunch of teachers and friends – six of us. We sold our houses to fund it. When we started 35 years ago, a lot of my colleagues said: ‘You’re crazy. You’re giving up a great job.
