Title: Use of the term Organic on Honey
Post by: Paul Andersen on February 19, 2008, 12:11:39 am

If you want to sell "Organic Honey" and label it legally, what criteria does the beekeeper need to meet?

I believe different states and Providences have different criteria.

Can anyone point me to a web site that defines those regulations?

I would be interested to see hat differences there may be in defining organic honey.

Did you do a search at all here before asking?  If you scrolled down the message list here you'd come to this thread (http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php?topic=11872.0) at least, and there have been many other discussions about it.  Go to that thread and click on the link to the Beesource article that offers the definition of 'organic honey'.

Thanks,

I tried a general google search with tons of junk, I didn't think of searching the forum. I will try to remember that in the future.

Heres a start first you need to learn difference between registered organic and certified organic and the rest will be easy to understand -but labeling requirements are the same-there are links in this thread that have what you need   http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php?topic=11872.0     RDY-B

I do it by hand, but Robo set up the Link button above to do it for you.

What it looks like is [ url=http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php?topic=11872.0]This is the link text[/url ] (I've inserted spaces after the first bracket and before the last so you can see how it's done).  The url above will produce This is the link text (http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php?topic=11872.0).  The blue text is the hyperlink.
