I am curious, though, in producing organic honey, how do you get a bee
to go just to organic flowers?


You can manage your bees organically, but you really can't claim to
provide organic honey. Unless you're in the middle of 8,000 square
acres.


What then does organic bee keeping mean, if the product isn't organic?
Is 8,000 acres a legal definition or hyperbole?
