Hello All,
At the national meetings of The American Honey producers and The American
Beekeeping Federation in January 2004 several honey producers have said they
were going to ask for their organizations to get honey pulled from the
federal organic certifcations (1990 law ) .

Both organizations have got the money, influance in Washington and lawyers
to get the job done if the members want the law changed!

Maybe many  members of the above like honey included in the new law. I do
not know?  If so then neither organization will act.

Every beekeeper I have talked to believes  all other products certified
organic are ok under the current law.


Bob
