{I was talking to a prominent commercial beekeeper and he
seems convinced of just that and that significant amounts of pesticides are
present in the finished food products too.  In my experience, food
ingredients are subject to stringent analysis}

I would have to say there's more parts per million in your food than you think. A local company here that extracts flavors out of anything food,buys all it's citrus products from out of the USA in order to get lower pesticide levels  in order to be able to meet certain world requirements.
 And I live in the citrus capital area of Florida.Thats just one example,don't fool yourself,we're being low dosed to death in the name of production, and big brother is not going to tell you that ,you would have to pay for private testing . 
   But if you truly think someone saying what I just did ,bubble is a little off center,don't do it, just keep thinking the government is keeping your food safe.
