All the questions about bees rolling in sawdust reminded me of other things
they do.
If you live on or near an organic farm and they keep animals, your bees
have probably visited the manure piles and also any puddles left by the
cows and horses. If you have a dog or cat, your bees may have visited their
droppings.
A search of the list also revealed that manure makes a good smoker fuel
when mixed with saw dust.
Fortunately, non of this disqualifies the honey from being organic. In
fact, it is reeeeal organic :)
