Just back from Florida where I was checking out the "Honey isle"  &  
prices. ( I cannot recall the certifying organization but it  was  
stamped with a small--officially organic certified by..O  something)   
Being a bit skeptical I figure its NOT ORGANIC, just  another sales  
plug.  or the certifying body has a different view  of organic  
standards--no wonder consumers are confused!
 
Andrew, the reporter from the Seattle P.I. called me some weeks  back.  The 
honey coming in from Bermuda was labeled in this manner.   Bad enough that it 
came from China via Bermuda, but it got called ORGANIC and  local.  Looks like 
you found the scam.
