The National Organic Prorgam (NOP) has not yet published specific organic requirements for bee keeping. However, apiary production is currently covered by the organic poultry requirements (§ 205.236 - 239) and therefore organic honey products sold on the US market must be certified accordingly.

• Bees under continous organic management from the 2nd day of life onwards
• 100% NOP organic feedstuff such as wild pollen, honey (own or NOP) or NOP organic sugar
• No antibiotics
• Medication acc. national list - no formic acid (varroa!)
