Honey Labeling Guidelines, via the National Honey Board
Robo's World, with great beekeeping podcasts, who interviewed Monica on December 10th, 2009! The MP3 of the interview can also be found [here].
Honey may not be honey in your state. Support the effort for a national honey standard. If it says honey, it better be honey!
Set your honey apart without using the word organic on your honey labels!1
Please consider becoming a Certified Naturally Grown beekeeper.
