As I recall (from several years back) when attempting to certify my farm
organic, the certifying agency at that time told me I needed 5 miles
surrounding my hives (from all directions!) to insure bees would only forage
from my fields. We have an 80 acre farm and were told this was not enough
land.

Not to worry Chris a friend of mine is working on a "Organic honey
certification" you can get off the internet! No pesky inspections or rules!
