If you love honey, do this one thing: Wash the jar thoroughly before placing it into the recycling bin. Honey imported from out of state can contain different strains of bacteria that could be harmful to native bees. If the residue honey inside the jar is put into the recycling bin, the sweet smell could attract bees. The bees can pick up the bacteria and bring it back to their hives, contaminating them.
