Douglas Baty wrote Last year I obtained organic certification for my honey through OCIA (Organic Crop Improvement Association). Their address is: 3185 Township Rd. 179, Bellefontaine, OH. 43311. Anyone interested in organic honey standards can write them or, OGBA, (Organic Growers and Buyers Association) at 1405 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton, MN 55112, as they also have a honey certification program. It was difficult to obtain certification, but I think possible for anyone with enough land base that is organically certified, and who lives in an area which is relatively free of pesticide/chemical problems......... From texts that I have read they have all stated that workers will forage up to a 4.5 miles of their hive. If this is true how can you or anyone claim that your bees have not been exposed to and pesticides or pollutants. Bill Hughes Bent Holly Honey Farm Brighton, Tennessee
