Go to your nearest farmers market! Not only do you get to support local producers, but local honey is also better for your health. Bees produce all kinds of antibodies that get expressed in their honey, and those antibodies are specific to your local environment. My hometown has one of the largest honey producers in America, and I still go out of my way to buy local raw honey rather than the homogenized stuff from the larger company, because they mix honey from all over the country, and pasteurization neutralizes most of those beneficial antibodies. I don't know about European regulations on raw honey, but I would be shocked if you couldn't at least find raw honeycomb, which is pretty much guaranteed to be unadulterated.
