Andy,
There is a good article on labeling of organic foods in the latest Consumer
reports. It is fairly balanced. They only mention honey in passing.  Here in
Maine, when the standards came up, it became apparent that common sense would
not be allowed in the honey standards. That seems to have prevailed on the
national level. Those involved seemed to want to be purer than pure and that
led to the unrealistic standards. The rest of us great unwashed figured with
mites and all the other bee killers on the horizon, that organic honey making
would be a short lived business.
But, if you read the Consumer Reports article, they found pesticides on a good
number of the "organic" foods. So you will probably get "organic" honey from
the same kind of people who use pesticides on their "organic" crops.
