Did you know that it is now impossible to label honey organic--well, unless the beekeeper owns all the property for at least a two-mile radius?
Not only are the plants on which bees forage polluted with multiple backyard and city toxins, which wind up in the honey; commercial beekeepers (in fact, most beekeepers, commercial or not) use antibiotics and chemicals on their hives that wind up in the wax and the honey.
It is very difficult to find honey from organically raised bees. There are few beekeepers who use completely organic methods. Even in their hives, wax has been found to contain not one or two, but dozens of contaminants.
There is a great deception and little regulation in the honey marketplace. Much of store-brand honey is bought from China, where toxins are rife, as well as doctored products. Even U.S. beekeepers are widely known to mix their honey with sugar, corn syrup, or molasses. Nobody is testing for this. 
We know a folksy, bearded, plaid-shirted beekeeper who sells honey at a popular farmer's market. While it purports to be local, and people exclaim about it, this honey is actually purchased from a huge supplier who buys honey from many different places. It is full of contaminants.
Honey labeled as being predominantly from one kind of plant may not have any pollen or nectar from the plant on its label. A beekeeping friend bought Manuka honey--known for its purported healing qualities--last year from Trader Joe's and tested it. There was not even a trace of Manuka pollen in the honey! (We grant that this is not always the fault of the beekeeper, but due to the preferences of the bees.)
Author Les Crowder, a gentle and good soul who teaches organic top-bar beekeeping, is now battling cancer at horrific cost both physically and financially. He writes this:
"As a young man I worked for a beekeeper with 4,000 hives that had me fumigating supers with ethylene di-bromide. My breath smelled of the carcinogenic gas for hours after work. The makers and promoters of that chemical are not now paying for my cancer treatments. But soon the public and the insurance companies are going to realize that the makers, users and those who profit from the distribution of toxic chemicals have to pay for the damage they cost. Organic will suddenly seem real cheap."
