Bees will move large volumes of unfiltered air over nectar to cure over
many days, so it makes perfect sense to me that if the air was thick enough
with soot/smoke that those compounds would enter the honey. However, this
hypothesis requires testing to confirm. Have any beekeepers in this region
sent the honey for testing for ash/soot/wildfire residues?
