Warning issued on imported honey
http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2006/12/15/honey-recall.html

Certain imported honey products may contain an unauthorized antibiotic, the
Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned Friday.

The products, imported from Ukraine, may contain chloramphenicol, which
poses a risk of causing aplastic anemia, a blood disorder. Chloramphenicol
is not authorized for use in Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is recalling certain honey products
imported from Ukraine.

There have been no reports of illness, the CFIA reports.

The products, distributed in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta, are
being voluntarily recalled from the marketplace.

The products, which have no English or French translation on their labels,
have the following UPC and lot numbers:
UPC 4 820013 330019 and lot 010906.
UPC 4 820013 330071 and lot 010906.
UPC 4 820013 330132 and lot 010906.

All the products were sold in 480-gram containers

Its been a while since I followed this group and I'm finding it about as
slow now as when I left it a couple of years or so ago. There was a time
when some colorful folks posted here on a regular (daily) basis, then
for one reason or another they faded from view - Mr Johnson ("to catch
bees ya gotta have a Big Johnson") mostly comes to mind, but I remember
Mr Israel (blue honey - it was good by the way) and several others.

I took a break from serious, well at my level anyway, beekeeping
activity and even broke away from Alan Dick's august group. Now that I'm
retired and working my way back into the activity I'm wondering where
the talkers, BS'ers, and opinionated hang out - it doesn't appear to be
here.

While I have some down time this winter I'm getting ready to cook my
boxes in lye in preparation for re-sealing the wood. Once upon a time
someone here, or Dick's group, spoke of paraffin oil treatment. This
idea has stayed with me and I'm wondering if anyone out there remembers
this, has tried it, or has any info on where I can obtain the paraffin
oil in bulk?

I invite everyone to join me on a virtual tour of the Prokopovych
Beekeeping Museum in Kyiv, Ukraine. It is one of the world's best

Then it was either not cleaned or it had been overheated.

Andy, don't believe everything Tiranti says. They don't produce was, they
buy it in and they believe the sales talk from their supplier.
