Imported honey pays too, and should do so.  After all any program that
sells honey increases the price of all honey in that market.
 
Protectionism is out of the question these days.  Some say it is what
caused the Great Depression.  So we have to live with what we've got and
try to co-operate.

A good idea.  But it does not mean that everyone will buy it if it costs
more than other honey.  The answer is to create demand for all honey and
thus increase the price for all honey.
