You are mostly correct,not sure that honey having Amitraz is illegal,but there is zero tolerance for it in honey.
 Which means no traceable amount can be found,or it will be rejected by the packer. I had first hand experience with this ,seeing as how Florida (being even smarter now than california,and having the first honey purity law) causes all beekeepers honey to be subjected to testing.

 Evidently during wax rendering Amitraz is passed from wax to honey and caused 14 drums of melter honey to be rejected .

I'm guessing it was picked up from brood comb capping's and mixed while rendering all the wax.

Now the question is what to do with 14 drums of melter honey,dilute it with fructose and feed it to single splits or dump it.
