REASON: In the case of livestock routinely fed antibiotics there is a very high risk of the consumption of antibiotics by a person who eats or drinks the products (eg. meat or milk products). Meat is known to be laden with unnatural ingredients. In the case of honeybees fed antibiotics spring and fall (not during a honey flow) there is an extremely small chance of the consumption of a detectable amount of antibiotic by a person eating honey. pb *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
