"Maybe Europe will start testing honey from the US and Canada next.
Maybe they will find the residues from beekeepers washing their hands
with anti-bacterial soap before loading the uncapper"

I am not kidding. I sent some honey samples for analysis in Europe. We
found traces of soap. When I discussed this issue with the beekeeper who
sent the sample, I found that he  used soap to clean his drums and He did
not do a good job rinsing his drums.
