  I'm sure. The USDA Grade A was in bold letters, too. With all you 
going to the national beekeeping meeting in California, how about 
making some noise about fair labeling and country of origin issues.

Uninformed consumers see "USDA Grade A" in bold letters on the front 
label, and believe the product was produced in the US. It's time that 
"Product of" was listed in the same place, in the same bold lettering.

I won't hold my breath.
