I concur with Murray Mcgregor and go further, Dr Juliet Osborne's radar
tracking of bees clearly shows that the bees from the researchers hives do not
pollinate the  plants on adjacent testplots but fly farther afield beyond the
one kilometer recorded by the radar scanner. Because of the bee's very nature,
their foraging distance,the necessity to control varroa with hard or soft
chemicals acids whatever, I doubt that anything we now do can be described as
"Organic". Here in England, the "Soil Association" (regulator for organics)
describe beewax foundation as UN- organic for a start.
