The National Honey Board has no charter to get involved
in such issues.  They exist to "promote honey".  Right now,
their charter even prevents them from even promoting "US honey",
a weird situation for a group that was set up by an act
of the US Congress.

Changing their charter in any way would require another
act of Congress, approved by a majority.
