    The real fucked up part is how bees assemble dangerous chemicals from a wide zone around where they live. So if the farm is near pesticides, they will be collected too. Studies showed that almost all honey is contaminated this way

    So basically, unless you’re buying honey yourself from some very remote sources, it’s not the good stuff

    Now wait until you read about fake olive oils and their mafias…

      Apparently that’s why there is no organic honey produced in the UK. You need to be a certain distance away from land that is sprayed with chemicals to get organic certification for your honey and nowhere in the UK is that far away.
