If one wants to produce totally organic honey without the
possibility of contamination by foreign substances, then
the hive will have to be located outside of flight range of
any/most other human occupation zones.
Farms within the flight range that use pesticides are
definite sources of contamination.

Quite ture, but not impossible to obtain if one really
wants to and looks around.

Think there might be a market then for bees that have never
seen chemicals, drugs, essential oils, acids or FGMO for
treatments, and are raised on combs same way that have been
all melted down and retooled from scratch? Say broodnest
comversion packages of 5 frame nucs with laying queens?
