Hello Ari & All,

>and value organich honey for better price.
10 - 25 % higher price.

Seems like a lot of extra work for only 10-25% higher price.

For the U.S. migratory beekeeper finding locations for water white honey and
getting the honey off before darker flowers bloom will get you 10-25% higher
price.


>The most important  rules are:

For varroa oxalic and formic acids, and  thymol ok.

Looks like a PPM of the above would be set.

> wing clipping of queens not.

How does the organic status change when the hive has a clipped wing queen as
opposed to  the hive which is headed by a queen without wings clipped?

> Beekeepers pays the inspections.

 How much U.S. do these inspections cost?

>But the fact is that they are the rules,

Rules do an excellent job of keeping an honest person honest. Have zero
effect on the dishonest person.
