Honey Laundering? Keep It Clean and BUY LOCAL!!!!!!

This just in from China.......Laundered honey, tainted and passing through India on its way to the US, is becoming a big problem, and one the FDA seems unable to adequately handle. 

Here's the link to a very informative article on the issue:

Check it out!!! I for one am stunned by these facts, and increasingly grateful for my hardworking girls out in the backyard.

So let the buyer bee-ware.....and buy from a trusted local beekeeper!
