Ed,
Welcome.
The difficulty is not necessarily in keeping non-food chemicals from
your hives. (although that can be difficult enough.)
Can you even determine what kind of chemicals are used on flowers
and plants in a 2 mile radius of your colonies? (forage range.)
I do believe there is a 'keeper in Arizona that produces organic
honey, he is in a very isolated area.
