From this EU site, it seems that it will be very difficult for you to
identify adulteration of honey:

In Germany, members of the beekeepers association label their bottles
accordingly, which I assume is a guarantee of the "pure honey" label. 
If other countries don't have a similar control, I can only suggest
that you not buy unlabeled honey, even from ostensibly green
producer/sellers at the market.  You might to check with your
country's honey producers' association.

About 25 years ago, a maid who used to work for us in a North Indian
town used to test honey by putting a small amount in her eye! She used
to say that if it is genuine honey it will burn whereas sugar solution
will not. Never tried it myself.

One of the Researchers here, Sublime1, used to work in the honey business.

HI !
Itīs antonio, from Brazil.
The only way you have to know if the honey itīs really true is to buying
cristalized honey. Do you know when you see a honey vessel and in the
bottom (or entire vessel) shows like if is completely with sugar? Like
hard sugar. Thatīs it. This is truly honey. If you mix any other thing
to honey, it will not create cristal like snow at the bottom of the
recipient (bottle or vessel glass)
Remember: DO NOT WARM HONEY IN A WATER FERVENT (EBULLIENT) RECIPIENT
OR MICROWAVES OR DIRECTLY TO BURNER or ELETRIC STOVE OR WOOD STOVE OR
ANY OTHER STOVE.  because causes a reaction and the honey will turn on
AN EXTREMELY POISON, that could literally kill a person.
you can really DIE if you eats warmed honey.
