Difference between commercial honey and organic honey?!
Answers:
All honey sold in the USA by federal law can contain no additives!. This is because water, the most common additive will cause honey to ferment and go bad (otherwise honey's shelf life is around 10,000 years)!.
The difference is in how the bees are reared!. Organic honey bees cannot be exposed to pesticides such as Apitstan or other chemical mitacides/insecticides or antibiotics (in common use in most conventional hives) in the hives!. Oh, and organic bees cannot be fed GMO sugar water (made with High fructose corn syrup and I suppose now that sugar is being produced with GMO sugar beets that cannot be used any longer)
The USDA organic program does not care about where the bees forage (since they generally avoid GMO pollen and any flowers that have been sprayed with poisons as that generally will kill a worker bee before she gets back to the hive with the pollen and nectar)
If you search through the USDA NOP you should find the regulations pertaining to honey and bees
