●Pollen analysis of manuka honey is a reliable determinant of its floral origin in most cases● ● Manuka is classified as an over-represented pollen type requiring over 70% manuka pollen to classify as a monofloral honey● ●There are instances however where some other honey sources can provide a significant proportion of the nectar without contributing to the pollen spectrum so a level of 70% manuka pollen or more can overstate the contribution of manuka nectar.
