Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Regulatory agencies in several countries now use this method routinely to pull counterfeit honey from store shelves.
- Since sugar syrups derived from corn or cane carry different isotope signatures than nectar collected by bees, this test can reveal adulteration that is invisible to the naked eye.
- Scientists eventually developed a laboratory technique that measures the ratios of specific carbon isotopes present in a honey sample.
- Because diluted honey looks and tastes almost identical to the pure product, consumers and even many retailers had no easy way to detect the fraud.
- As demand for honey rose faster than bee populations could supply it, some producers began diluting genuine honey with cheaper sugar syrups to increase their profits.
