I am already using this as a sales tool to try and get rid of the bogus "regional" honey on the shelf 
next to mine at area stores. The reporter could have noted how the packers use a dizzying array of 
labels to package imported honey to make it look like a local, regional or national sourced product. 

The grocery industry has no idea about the depth of this issue. Everyone who sells honey can use this 
article as a sales tool. 

I sent the reporter a letter of thanks - I suggest other interested beekeepers should do the same to 
encourage him to get the word out and as Jerry noted he may be working on further articles. 

This is a great article and timely with the concern about China....
