It only takes a few seconds for any producer to realize that the claim
of "organic" honey is not achievable.  Use foundation?  DISQUALIFIED!
Feed your bees?  DISQUALIFIED!  Got neighbors in your forage area?
DISQUALIFIED!  Treat your bees?  DISQUALIFIED!
 
About the only chance for the claim will go to them new fangled top bar
hives if they're located in (Scottland) Harry's back yard!  And Jack
will challange that!
 
As I see it, the rules and regs for the designation of "organic honey"
are legislators' way of passing a law that reads "Use of the word
'ORGANIC' on honey labels is forbidden".  What could be said in
eleven words has been stated in megabytes!  All is well in D.C.!
 
Aaron Morris - thinking it's about time for new years and wishing
               a happy and presperous one to all!
