This Bill is not focused on honey but food in general. I agree honey has not been the 
source of any concerns but seriously tell that in a letter to your Representatives. 

The peanut, lettuce , ground beef and a myriad of other large recalls has been the 
impetus for a new law. Until now FDA had limited involvement in honey and some fresh 
produce and it was all USDA. This Bill expands the scope of the FDA. Why should small 
producers subsidize the inspections of the large multi national companies by all paying 
$1000 fee? 

This is currently a draft law I supplied the link for which will be taken up I believe in July 
on Congress, then possibly revised then voted up or down.
