IMHO...... We are inviting some very unpleasant things into our
hobby/commercial endevor.
You will have people involved in making laws about your honey operation
that know very little about bees and how we operate.  From the very first
when I started beekeeping over 25 years ago it was explained to me that the
less involvement "outsiders" have in our operation the better.  You will
notice that we are free to carry on without the hinderences of government.
Very few products
for human consumption have such few regulations.  Ask farmers,  who happen
to have bees how much they are regulated.
 
Until we can stop using chemicals in the hive and we can tell our bees
where to go and what bring home, we can not and should not be clamoring for
"Organic Honey".
