Is there any open discussion about what is going to happen when the Chinese authorities get their
act together and possibly flood the market with several seasons worth of honey.

Is it considered likely that the previously antibiotic tainted crop will be diluted with subsequent
crops and then put onto the world market?

Would such a practice be possible to detect as having happened? If so, is there evidence of a will
to try and pre-empt such an occurrence?

Are buyers willing to trade in such material, knowing that volumes of chinese honey arriving onto
the market will be strongly suspect in having been manipulated to cover up previous "mistakes"?
