The spinach incident last year was from feral pigs contaminating the 
crops. Not from any lack of following accepted sustainable farming 
practices.

And since honey bees are such food gathering insects, it could be 
possible for some beekeeper's honey crop to become inadvertently 
contaminated.
Not because of a sustainable or organic minded beekeeper's practices.

The most important are for the eaters to know the grower/producers of 
their food, which ideally is local. That's the best marketing situation 
for part-time backyard beekeepers and the sideliner operators.
That motto "Buy Fresh-Buy Local".
