1. Match Stick Test
Take a match stick, dip its tip into the honey and then strike it to fire flame. Natural honey will light, catch the fire and burn the honey, whereas artificial honey will not light and catch fire because of the moisture present in it.
2. Crystallization Test
Pure honey will start making crystals with time. Whereas, artificial honey will stay like a syrup even if it is stored for long time.

Place a drop of honey on your thumb. If it spreads and spills down it is artificial and if it stays attached to your thumb it is real.
