It gets worse if crops, e.g. oilseed rape, are grown for biodiesel.  These 
varieties will not have been approved for food use and any honey from them 
cannot then be sold at all.

It follows that if there is a huge expansion in growing these crops for 
biodiesel then beekeeping could be wiped out in many areas.

Best wishes
