Bill's comments regarding making USA honey distinctive could be a good marketing technique. As for the organic standards, it is not the organic producers who have had problems, it has been big agribusiness which has tried to to keep the organic products from being distinctive from their own. They have heavily lobbied Congress and the USDA for such things as irradiated produce and crops grown from sewage sludge to be classified as organic as well as GM produce. Fortunately this is not going to happen thanks to a grassroots common sense effort by many around this nation. You may get this same type of effort from packers of foreign honey should domestic producers want labelling. It is apparent that as long as consumers see honey as all the same, market forces will continue to make it difficult for honey producers in this country to make a living family wage unless demand increases or supply decreases.
