(Sept. 2) -- U.S. consumers stand a better chance of buying honey free of drugs, chemicals and other illegal contaminants because investigators from several federal agencies have scooped up some of the biggest players in the sticky, international honey-laundering maze.

A 70-page indictment, released in Chicago by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, reads like Cliffs Notes for a spy novel: smuggling, bogus shipping papers, phony lab tests, shipments to Chicago warehouses and small honey-packing plants in Washington's Cascade Mountains. All that's missing is the sex.

Sex might make America open it's ears and listen to what has been happening.

Kathyp, it's easy not to care when you don't know what is happening.  As more people find out just what they have been eating along with their honey, many will care.  And with that stuff off the market, it's gets a bit easier for real beeks to compete.
