As is usual in these pesticide discussions, the original question is
lost. The post did say that strips were used properly, after the honey
flow and supers removed. The answer is that if you do everything by the
book, you can sell your honey with no real worry about pesticide
contamination.

If that is not true, then everyone on this list best stop selling honey
or wax.

Check Jerry's research and you will see that bees bring lots of stuff
back to the hive with little involvement of the beekeeper. If we are
looking for an absolutely pure product, where no foreign substances are
detectable, then science has done us in, because it continually lowers
the threshold of detection. Everyone's honey and wax  are
"contaminated", even if you never opened the hive.
