I had a letter from the Really Raw Honey people who said there is no
certifiable organic honey in the US. The law is that it's OK to feed bees
sugar in th US. It's not so Europe, maybe why Stefan gets a stop.
Schaeffer says if the honey comes from more than one hive it may not give
a stop. Really Raw Honey comes from many hives. If anyone in the US has
found a not too expensive honey (I have trouble finding comb) that gives
a stop, please post.
