From my understanding of it, you'll get CNG stickers that you can put on your honey jars as a way of promoting/distinguishing it. My biggest issue with CNG is that there's no real enforcement of it. Your apiary can be "inspected to be certified" by almost anyone, including your honey customers. 


Fwiw, my personal hives would qualify for the CNG program with no issues, but I don't see the point. But the farm where I keep some of my hives and sells honey in their store is thinking about going through the certification to "market" the honey.
