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


No, it's not hyperbole, Billy. That's the radius a honeybee will
forage within.

Organic beekeeping means putting nothing in the hive but the honeybee
and comb and managing all of the pests/problems organically.


OK. I'll google my questions.


Hoping to find something to disprove me? Knock yourself out.

I wonder if your googling will lead you here?

Then again, I suppose that's totally discredited because I posted it.
