I would like to see some proof of this.
 
It is my understanding, there has been a little bit of such (illegal)
activity, but that it is quite minor in relation to the whole market and
in its effects on price.  Moreover such activity has been well
investigated by the US commerce department.
 
I am sure the extent and the effect of this particular activity on honey
prices has been much less than other factors.  For example,  much less
than that of a couple of good ol' boys down in the south who were found to
have been selling syrup as honey for some good long time.
 
The latter activity is proven and documented in court.  The attribution of
lower prices to the former is -- as far as I know -- unfounded and pure
conjecture.
 
If not, some names and quantities should be forthcoming to back up this
charge  -- or a retraction and an apology.
