Know your bee keeper and their honey

Who would have thought you would have to be worried about what goes into your honey? When I talked to people about our honey I do say that we have not treated them with any chemicals or drugs to keep them healthy or pests under control. Little did I know that honey coming out of China (the biggest honey producer in the world) has been "dumping" banned honey (honey contaminate with antibiotics) in other countries so it could be legally imported into the U.S. Here a link for more back ground information. http://www.mannlakeltd.com/news/index.htm For us here in California, there are enough local bee keepers that you can ask about how they handle their bees and protect the quality of their honey. Mr D's Bees and Bee Spit (our labels) are from our own hives which we have never treated with chemicals of any kind. I don't allow Round Up or any pest sprays to be used in my gardens or around the outside of my house.
