>>>     Send samples of the 60 pounds in a tin can to Gastonia and a comparable sample of 2019 honey in plastic (seems to be the US norm), have Gastonia run a complete inorganic and organic chemical screen, compare the results.  It should be eye opening.                                 <><><>   Taking samples from the tin should bee done in an exacting manner as well.  If the honey in the tin has NOT been disturbed, taking samples from various spots/levels in the tin should bee in order.   Use a pipette to take your samples, possibly at two inch intervals throughout the depth of the canister.  Also, take samples from next to the aberration in the tin and from the opposite side of the tin.  Bee sure to label your samples accurately.   To my way of thinking, the composition of the honey in the tin canister, if not disturbed, should show different compositions in your various samples - especially in reference to the possible contamination by the aberration and just, maybe, by the sides of the tin canister.  Mae sure your pipette(s) is/are clean and dry between samples.  Just a suggestion.
