Seems  like another good reason to let your bees live on their own   
stores!

Is that reason more so based on personal opinion,or actual  science?



It means that you and your customers can be justifiably confident that what  
you are eating and they are buying is a natural product, which is one of  the 
important marketing points for honey.  Although it is highly unlikely  that 
any GM protein (the bit with the modified genes in) will end up in honey,  the 
customers, on this side of the Atlantic at least, tend to regard anything  
associated with GM as something to be avoided.
