I've noticed several instances of "certified organic" honey for sale on e-Bay.  Anyone know who "certified" the honey to be organic?  Does the "organic" certification mean that the honey producers have not introduced any non-organic substances into the bee hives or does it go further than that and certify that the hives reside in an area in which no non-organic pest controls are used within the flight range of the colonies?
