You are right.

I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
I am also a hobby beek.
I do not use antibiotics and chemicals in my beekeeping.
I only use herbal medications in my hives (for Varroa and Nosema).
My clients see our hives behind the hospital.
I do not use heat knives to uncap.
I only have pure raw honey.
When clients bring in theirs pets they always ask questions about my honeybees.
Many of them expressed a wish that I sell them some of my honey.
We are selling some of our honey from our honeybees in my Animal Hospital.

My clients don't mind to pay $10.00/lb.
