Peter- the post talked about chewing the pencil, so the graphite was not
the problem, the paint was.

Page two of the study shows that a pencil chewer can develop high
concentrations of lead depending on the pencil brand.
If anyone considers this off topic,it is only because your bees do not chew
pencils as mine do. All beekeeping is local. People love my premium leaded
honey, especially since it is both GMO and gluten free.
