This 8 oz bottle of Florida wildflower honey is slightly radioactive (about as much as half of a banana) and has been directly traced to atomic weapons testing. Since the first atomic blast at the 1945 Trinity Test, thousands of above-ground nuclear detonations have scattered a unique radioactive isotope, called cesium-137 (Cs-137), across the globe. Carried by wind and rain, this fallout has infiltrated soils far from the original test sites, silently embedding itself into the environment. Cs-137’s sneaky solubility in water lets it slip into plants, which confuse it for potassium, a vital nutrient. This contamination reaches plant nectar, which bees harvest to craft honey. Recent studies reveal that even today, trace amounts of Cs-137 continue to cycle through ecosystems, particularly on the US East Coast—far from the desert and oceanic testing sites.
