What prevents Sioux Bee from running 100% US honey on alternate Thursdays,
bottling it, and using labels that say "This honey is entirely from US sources"
on those bottles?
I can't imagine how this would be inaccurate, or in violation of any regulation.

Please explain why the labeling regs prevent anyone from telling the truth
about the "country of origin" of their honey. I don't get it.
