I doubt there is a way. I have heard many years ago people selling honey cheated and added water and starch to honey to increase the volume and not lose the thickness. That can be checked adding some iodine and boiling water to honey sample. But that would not help you detect cane sugar, if present. Google for detection of sucrose in honey, perhaps there are some sources in the vastness of the web.

Hi, Im a honey chemist. Its impossible to test  a honey quality out of laboratory. You must determine a diastase or a sucrose content of honey. Honey is very cheap nowadays and its not rational to falsify it.
