Take some honey on your thumb and check if it spills around like any other liquids. If it does, it may not be pure.
Take a tsp of honey and put in a glass of water. Fake ones will dissolve, while pure honey will settle at the bottom of the glass.

Pure honey is inflammable. But we request you to conduct the test with utmost caution, and at your own risk.

Mix a tbsp honey, some water and 2-3 drops of vinegar. If this mixture foams up, there's a chance of it being adulterated.

If you heat pure honey, it will caramelize and not become foamy. But, in case of impure honey it may become bubbly on heating.
