bee products.

My thoughts, random as they may be, are as follows:

If one wants to produce totally organic honey without the possibility of
contamination by foreign substances, then the hive will have to be located
outside of flight range of any/most other human occupation zones.  Farms
within the flight range that use pesticides are definite sources of
contamination.  I think to get totally free organic products with the work
force we use (bees)is going to be almost a complete impossibility.  Of
course, my thinking might be wrong in this.
