Targeted products for examination
? Banned veterinary substances (such as
chloramphenicol or nitrofurans)
? Authorised veterinary substances (but found in
excess of their authorised limits, such as
antibiotics and insecticides)
? Environmental pollutants (such as pesticides or
heavy metals)

Each year a minimum of 10 samples by block of 300
metric tons for a total under 3,000 metric
tons. After 3,000 metric tons, just 1 sample by
block of 300 metric tons.

In the apiary
? Do not treat the hives with antibiotics as a
preventive measure. If antibiotics are necessary,
you must take off the supers first, and make sure
you follow exactly the directions.
? Do not feed with syrup or sugar during honey
flows
17
In the apiary
? Recycle all super frames that have contained
fermented honey or mouldy pollen
? Avoid excessive use of the smoker when
harvesting, this can give a stale tobacco taste
to the honey and can contaminate it with tar
residue
18
In the apiary
? Always harvest frames that are well sealed (at
least 70 is reasonable) otherwise the moisture
content will be too high and the honey will
ferment
? Care should be taken if using a chemical
repellent for harvesting
? Do not put supers on the ground, but on an
upturned hive cover
19
In the honey house
? Extract the honey in a room protected from
external humidity and bees
? The floor, walls and partitions must have a
waterproof surface that will not rot to allow for
efficient washing
? Never heat honey above 105 F
20
In the honey house
? Machines and containers must be made of
stainless steel or food-quality plastic. If this
is not possible any other material must be sealed
with food-quality paint
? Never smoke during extraction
21
In the honey house
? Pre-filter honey as it leaves the extractor
(for big chunks of wax)
? Filter honey through a fine sieve (Nylon
netting) as it goes into tanks and/or drums
? Do not leave honey in hot rooms or places
exposed to the sun
22
In the honey house
Time to produce 30 ppb of HMF(Hydroxymehylfurfura
l)
23
In the honey house
Hydroxymehylfurfural
24
In the honey house
? Prevent the honey from reabsorbing moisture by
making sure tanks, drums and containers are
properly shut
? Pollen sorting/cleaning cannot be done at the
same time as honeyextraction
25
In the honey house
? Work which does not include food products
(preparing wax or frames for example) must not be
carried out at the same time as work with honey
? The honey house must not be washed until all
the honey has beenstored in airtight containers
26
In the honey house
? No chemical products (detergents, glue for
labels, medicines, herbicides, etc) are allowed
in the extraction room or the honey storeroom
? Do not use any old oil drums even when waxed
