> Could the Enrofloxacin get in the honey by the practice of using cow urine to rid bees of microbial diseases?

I suppose it could, but it is far more likely that beekeepers are using it directly in hives. Bad idea, IMHO.

> Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic sold by the Bayer Corporation under the trade name Baytril. Enrofloxacin is currently FDA-approved for treatment of individual pets and domestic animals in the United States.

> Fluoroquinolones constitute the main group of antibiotics used in veterinary medicine for therapeutic purposes for food-producing animals and pets. Quinolones are often used in livestock and fish farm industries in cases of pulmonary, urinary and digestive infection. 

> Their extensive administration to fish, destined for human consumption, has become a serious problem because their residues can persist in edible animal tissues. Quinolones may be directly toxic or be the source of resistant human pathogens representing a possible risk to human health.
