"yoonytoons" wondered :  What do packers do with that
> banned stuff: a further dilution with more good honey?  I dung no.

When contaminated honey was withdrawn from UK supermarkets last year ir was
apparently dumped in landfill.  How many broken jars were scavenged by local
bees with the honey being recycled is unrecorded.
One use hobbyists can play with - if they get an odd swarm - is to hive some
bees in a large cardboard box, feed the contam honey, cut out combs and keep
feeding, finally kill the bees, burn the box, and harvest all the wax to
make candles.
As honey is essentially plant juice, does anyone know of a way to make
useful fertiliser from honey? Just dilute and spray (onto the ground, not
onto flowers) , perhaps?
