As a beekeeper, I can tell you this is not true. Before I can get my honey listed as organic, I must have an inspector make sure there are no chemicals used for a 2 mile radius around my hives. This is not regulated, though, in other countries. The USDA allows other countries to tell us if there honey is organic.

The USDA sucks for a bajillion reasons. Any product from ANY other country can say organic with no requirements and beat the tar out of a local producer who can't get through the US organic hoops.
