We are not operating in a sustainable environment and just solving CCD is not going to fix the bee 
industry. 



Thought just came to mind.  For those of us who can, why not advertise on our label "Honey 100% produced in U.S.A."?  I use a double fold label and advertise in it that my honey is produced in Monroe County, the county in which I reside.  If imports are mixed in, can the label state that it is produced in one location?
