Randy, regarding your question about certifying hives that are within
flight range of conventional crops, yes, they appear to be certifying hives
that are grown near conventional crops. I am just reporting on what I see,
and I see a lot of things that make me question the certification of
hives. The beekeepers seem to be conscientious in using organic methods as
they honey is all checked for residue and they have good taceablility
programs in place.
