For many years the International Perfume Foundation (IPF) has been very proactive in supporting bees as being critical for returning flowers to nature.
Yet according to recent studies, this support is undermined by honey marketers who adulterate as much as 70% of the world’s supply of honey, making it the third most adulterated food, behind milk and olive oil.
“Honey can be faked and adulterated in many different ways to fraudulently control the market,” according to the World Honey Market. “Common strategies include diluting the honey with sugars or syrups or feeding corn syrup to the bees rather than allowing them to forage for pollen.” 
The impact of this fake honey threatens domestic beekeepers’ existence, while bees are prevented from performing their key role as pollinators by fake honey factories, putting our entire food supply at risk. All because of the efforts to flood the US and EU honey markets with fake honey, primarily from China. 
Again, from the World Honey Market: “Beekeepers in the United Kingdom have been hit particularly hard. The U.K. received 47% of Europe's honey imports from China in 2018, but a Honey Authenticity Project lab analysis of 11 supermarket brands found that none complied with E.U. labeling standards.”

Today we are disconnected from nature and need to reconnect. Our bodies are calling us to react and we feel we need to reconnect.
The best way to Reconnect with Nature is to look for Nature in everything. This takes a little bit more time since we first need to determine what is natural and what isn't. To do this, products have to have traceability, which allows us to find true natural products before our purchases are made. 
Here are the 10 Best Ways to Reconnect with Nature 

1. Think before buying. Who is making it? How is it made? Where does it come from? Can we trust it?
2. Read labels. If you see chemical terminology on the product, don’t buy! A natural product is a complete product with a name and it does not need labelling using chemical compounds. A rose is a rose, a lemon is a lemon. If you see chemicals formulas on a products label it means it is probably not natural, it is probably coming from a laboratory and was processed. You can do the same exercise with food, with perfumes... 
3. Eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and wild herbs, cereals that are not GMO processed and not polluted by chemical pesticides.
4. Eat honey, since bees are producing the best food made with flowers and plants. 
5. Breathe Nature. Learn how to breathe. From yoga classes, you will learn how to breathe, using breathing to massage your internal organs. The sense of smell is the most essential sense, and is the first of the senses developed in newborns. We breathe about 23040 times a day but we don't pay attention anymore to the benefits and importance of breathing.
6. Walk in Nature at least once a week. 
7. Buy perfumes from Certified Natural Perfumers only. Do you know that perfumes goes to your blood much faster than any medicine you swallow ? Don’t look for brands, look for perfumers! Look for Natural Perfumers that only use natural materials, and they should be certified. Breathe the power of nature. Natural perfumes are the easiest way to reconnect with nature as it brings you the beneficial power of flowers and plants directly in your lungs and organs. Make sure they are certified by the International Perfume Foundation*
8. Grow your own fragrant garden. Use the herbs and the plants in your food and understand how they can improve your health. Feel the beneficial power of plants and the energy they will provide you. If you don’t have a garden, spend some time growing a plant inside your house. The care you will give it will help you to reconnect with the vibration of nature.
9. Take a Natural Perfumery 6 months extensive course, learn about the healing power of nature. Your garden is your next pharmacy. In the past many women were perfumers and healers at the same time. They cultivated their garden and obtained the essence of plants and flowers through distillation, maceration or enfleurage. You can learn all these techniques and become a natural perfumer!
10. Join the Natural Perfumery Teacher’s Academy and learn how you can help others in sharing this ancient knowledge and become a Teacher.
