Thanks for your feedback, Pete, Randy and Dick. We will opt for sleeping
well at night over having a lucrative fundraiser with the rare honey. I was
surprised the contaminants  weren't higher. I did transfer the honey to a
plastic bucket and thoroughly mixed it with a new, washed rotary paint
stirrer.

Now, what does one do with 60 lbs of high HMF honey that the bees shouldn't
get to? I guess burial at the dump.

(On a parallel note, arrangements were being made for the deep burial of
several AFB hives at a local small town landfill near here until they heard
the bees died of a disease. They said they couldn't/wouldn't accept
"Biohazard waste." The hives were then trucked a hundred miles to another
landfill. Burning was out of the question given our current (perennial)
drought.)
