What is Certified Organic Honey?
According to the USDA regulations, honey can’t be labeled certified organic if its production uses even traces of prohibited chemicals, drugs, or antibiotics. Non-organic beekeepers routinely use sulfa compounds and antibiotics to control bee diseases, so if you eat conventionally produced honey – you might be getting a dose of chemicals, drugs, and antibiotics. Organic beekeepers protect the natural life cycle of bees by safeguarding their natural habitat and because organic is costly, they do not exterminate the bees at the end of the season with harmful chemicals like a lot of conventional beekeepers practice.
