To claim organic wouldn't the beekeeper have to avoid treating the bees with
any chemical and obtaining bees from a source that had not ever used
chemicals. The progeny from chemical usage may not carry residue but their
exisitence was determined by chemicals. Does not the wind blow chemicals such
as acid-rain. Can we say that the ground has never been contaminated. The
woodenware never been reated with chemicals. Etc. Isn't it impossible to say
that honey can ever be produced organically . Not just what is below
detection by todays instruments.
