Actually I can see lots of land in pennsylvania being elidgeable for certified organic beekeeping. Most of pennsylvania is virgin land or untouched since big coal mining ended a century ago. Pennsylvania is one of the greenest states I can imagine.

Subject: [BEE-L] Organic Honey
Well at least one large US packer is offering organic honey, USDA "green label" and all. At almost $12 a pound that beats the price of "local" honey. I have not seen in on supermarket shelves yet. Their ad states:
"Our USDA certified organic honey is produced by organic certified beehives. These special beehives are located in regions where the honey bees can forage for nectar from various wildflowers, that are free from herbicide or pesticide applications. Enjoy this unique gift from nature!"
Don't know where they are actually buying it from.
