[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 613461, member: 6198"] To reply to Bez's post about Billy Bee and Bee Maid...from a honey producer... Billy Bee was bought by McCormick foods (spice) something to that effect. They are American. Hopefully they will curtail the import of illegal honey. Beemaid however is 100% Canadian owned. The get their honey from the three prairie provinces and BC and no where else. The do not source from China or any where... Bee Maid is a co-operative, owned by the beekeeping farmers. Bee Maid does export the honey around the world. In fact, Germany sends Beemaid the jars they want use for honey, glass only, and Bee Maid fills it with 100% Canadian Honey. Just one instance of Bee Maid exporting honey. If you read Billy Bee's honey it will say "Canada #1" Turn the label to the backside and read in small fine print where the honey comes from. It will say product of... but you have to look for it and look with a high powered lens. To Understand how they can call it Canada # 1 you have to know how they grade honey. Honey is graded by color, moisture, and clarity. To say Canada # 1 means it meet those requirements. Is it right? No. The Canadian Honey council wants the regulations changed so that Canada # 1 means a #1 product from Canada. One of the ways they are going about getting these changes applied is to regulate all honey producers by getting them federally inspected. Once all honey producers are federally inspected, then there will be standards which then can be applied to world honey imported into Canada. CFIA would conduct the inspections , and they would apply to the honey house, where honey is extracted, to the drugs used in the hives. Mostly it is just a bunch of paperwork and good management practices in extracting honey. [/QUOTE]
