Dirty Honey, Greed and finally justice

This link tell the tale of some honey brokers that broke the law importing banned honey and not paying any of the appropriate duties. Also some of this honey was adulterated and contained some banned substances. The devious methods used helped depress honey prices on a national if not global scale.
