Just read an interesting article about organic fertilisers and the scientific definition of the phrase organic. Apparently if fertiliser comes from plant or animal derivatives then it can be called organic. It matters not wether the plant or animal was 'organic' they can still call it organic fertiliser and advertise it as such.
So....... You can probably guess my next question. If my bees use plant derivatives, i.e. nectar to make honey surely the honey is automatically organic. It matters not if the plants themselves are organic.
Or......... Is there a specific definition for honey?
