> I'm just wondering where all the contaminated honey gets dumped.

Every country views nearly every shipment of honey from
another country as a form of "dumping".  :)

But contaminated honey is rarely, if ever, "dumped" (destroyed).
The honey is rejected "at the dock" and most often is last seen
being loaded back onto a truck, boat, train, or plane,
destination unknown.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that matter can
neither be created or destroyed.  In contrast, the First
Law of Honeydynamics states that while stuff that looks
like honey CAN be created, nothing that looks even
vaguely like honey will ever be destroyed.

> Is it fed back to the bees,

Its not too much of a stretch to say "never".

> sold as feed,

Why, when it can simply be shipped to a intermediate country
and rexported again to the original destination with a very
high probability of getting through undetected on the second
attempt?

> blended to below detection limits

Yes, often.

> or ultra filtered?

Also yes.
