. But think if this could be done across Appalachia. Across central PA. Put people to work and get rid of that crap honey from China!

With my crappy computer I can't view the link, so I don't know the specifics but I would not trust ANY food product from China.
When I was more mobile, I was only about fifty minutes from a town that contained a honey broker who bought local output. He seemed to do well and so did his customers. Appalachia has a lot of mountain laurel so bee keepers would have to remain vigilant, but generally they are trustworthy people.

Interesting, never heard of that. I only use honey once in awhile though.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I used to joke with those who sold honey at farmers markets that I liked Azeallia honey and see them laugh. its poisonous but no one keels over and dies right away. Beekeepers do have watch out though.

I could pretend it's a one-off, but Trump is intentionally gutting the EPA regs as much as possible. Follow the $$$ as someone said.

"Gutting?" Not at all. Streamlining. Cutting fat. Getting rid of the idea that more regulations is a measure of productivity.

If I had my way you could not work for the EPA unless you have spent 5-10 years in the industry you would be regulating.
The President is a fink.

I don't think you realize what you just said.

I'd be in favor of bee keepers regulating bee keepers, instead of chemical companies making the decisions.

I do not see chemical companies making decisions on beekeeping.

Sure, it's like a chemical company dumping chemicals in a lake you're fishing in and pretending they are not making laws about fishing. That's ostrich head in the sand thinking.

They are not "making a law about fishing." They may be violating dumping laws.
