Bob stated "The bees did not pick up the drug off the flowers!"

Antibiotics are used in the orchards producing apples - and other fruits.
As best as I have searched, I have not been able to find the article
relating to Antibiotic contamination of honey produced in the Black
forest, Germany several years ago.

There was a "buyback program" put in place to compensate the beekeepers
who had had their harvest accidentally contaminated.
The antibiotic source was thought to have been via. orchard treatments
against fire blight.
