I keep hearing 'pollen analysis' like it's a magic stamp of authenticity. Is it actually useful or just another buzzword?

It can be useful as one tool, but it's not a single perfect proof. It needs context and methods.

Pollen analysis is real in honey science, but it doesn't replace supply-chain traceability.
