> Yeah, and on what do you base this rash statement?

On personal experience, Peter, with many beekeepers, from comments and analyzes in the European beekeeper magazines and analyses from consumer organizations and the Belgian authorities. As I said and we all know, there are bad exceptions.

> From February 2002 until February 2011 there have been 238 notifications issued for specific veterinary drug residues in honey.

So 238 / 9 = 2,6 cases / year. Out from how many controls?

The lack of drugs is obviously a problem and then some go and look, but this is no reason to generalize, in my opinion.

Kind regards,

Ghislain De Roeck,
