If you need to identify the raw honey, the most simple method to do it to pour some honey into a water glass. If the honey is natural and raw it goes to the bottom of the glass without dissolve. Otherwise, it dissolves. Also, in my experience I have seen, honey mixed with sugar accumulates sugar on the bottom of the container when time passes.

Completely 100% incorrect. Virtually all honeys collect at the bottom of the glass unless the water is heated. Also, raw and unfiltered honey hardens and crystalizes over time which sometimes appears like sugar but it is still raw unprocessed honey. Filtered, processed, and diluted honey generally does not crystalize over time.

I just got my raw honey from iherb.com per the advice of this thread. It tastes delicious and wholesome. Really hits the spot. Tastes better than honey syrup. I could eat the whole jar. Lol

Btw does honey kill all bacteria, including good bacteria too, like antibiotics do? Or only the bad bacteria?

Also are all syrup forms of honey - like the maple syrup you use for pancakes - considered processed honey? Why is that form of honey not as good?
