    This isn’t true for the vast majority of commercial honey unfortunately. If you’re buying it from the supermarket, or any producer that operates at even medium scale, they’ll clip the wings of the queen so that the hive is unable to leave even if they want to.

      And then they lose the hive anyway due to CCD or some nutrient deficiency that results from only consuming almond nectar.
