Last I heard the USDA has no organic standard for honey.  The honey you see labeled as such is a result of the NAFTA and is from Brazil.  We have to acknowledge it as organic because they say so...

My research has concluded the same thing -- the FDA seems to have no hard and fast rules.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

Here is a link where the organic standard can be found. I think plastic frames are permitted, but not plastic foundation.
Double standards standard.

It's the USDA who would have the say so and they have no rules at all.  There has been a draft of a standard for a few decades now, but no approval of the standard that I've heard.
