- Quality is measured by UMFTM while purity depends on Leptospermum scoparium nectar content.
- Mono-floral is more valuable than multi-floral honey and value decreases when manuka honey is diluted with honeys from other nectar sources.
- Honey varies between and across all of regions, sites, apiaries, beehives and honey frames.
- Dilution may be by bee or by man. During extraction, rich and lean frames are lumped together.
- Quality assessment of honey in-frame could help prevent mixing of rich honey with lean.
- Current chromatography-based methods are too slow and expensive to evaluate frame by frame.
