One of the things about organic honey is how the bees are managed. Most beekeepers medicate their hives for various pests and diseases and they also may give them supplemental food during the early spring and sometimes in the fall. Medications are usually mixed into this supplemental feed. Some commercial beekeepers feed corn syrup which as you know can be made from GMO corn and maybe it also has Roundup residue.
I don't know the rules for organic beekeeping but I would guess that there are rules about what medications or foods for supplemental feeding can be used.
Many of the cheap honey products in the supermarket are not pure honey but are mixed with corn syrup.
