Hi Kim
That is somewhat odd.  Is the chloramphenicol in the honey as a result of
the buckwheat , or is it as a result of what these specific beekeepers were
feeding their bees?  I am not sure of how chloramphenicol would suddenly
appear in buckwheat honey.  My interest was more in the line of what
types/varieties of buckwheat produce the greatest yield of nectar.  It seems
that genetic modification has lead to a decrease in nectar production in
buckwheat and in other nectar crops.  Knowing the variety that most people
culture would assist me in my next planting season.
Regards
