When these requirements first came out, I was surprised to see terramycin as an acceptable and "approved" antibiotic for organic cerification.  I also had to survey a two-mile radius and record all the crops and applications.  It was nuts and next to impossible.
 
However, you raise a critical point that we cannot control the environment outside the hive, but we can sure make it safer inside the hive.
