This series has been so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
I'll have to look into the Texas lab. When looking for a lab to test my honey I called several near me on the West Coast that are also listed in the link you provided to the National Honey Board. The ones that I called all partner with the company in Germany, Tentamus. I have a lab close to me that I can drop it at (no shipping fees) and they send my samples to them. I test a lot of honey produced both local and international and I found the selection of testing available and prices are relatively reasonable. As an example, C4 sugar and pollen analysis (two different tests they offer that I use a lot) is $250 for both for local or international honey. My local rep was also able to quickly answer my questions about details of the results.
I hope this helps and I'm really looking forward to reading more in this series!
