I should have stuck with the point of the original article which is not accurate. Cuba does not produce organic honey. That's my point. They use 1,000 tonnes of pesticides for agriculture each year. How can they be sure the bees don't visit fields where pesticides are being applied? And while the U.S. embargo may be part of the problem, the reduction of pesticide use began with the break-up of the USSR in the early 1990's. The Soviets stopped providing many things to Cuba including 21,000 tonnes of pesticides annually.
