Editing Forensic palynology (section)

=== United States, 1970 ===
The first cases that involved forensic palynology in the United States was in 1970, where Honeybee pollination studies were issued. During this time honey pollen analysis began growing as the [[United States Department of Agriculture]] (USDA) ensured beekeepers a higher world market price for their honey, subject to the condition that the honey was produced on USA soil. Thus, honey samples were sent for pollen analysis to confirm whether the honey was produced in the USA. Generally, most of the cases during this time involved lawsuits concerning beekeepers. For example, a Michigan beekeeper was suspected of importing beehives from the southeastern USA that weren't inspected for mites. This led to the USDA inspecting honey samples where it was concluded that they were imported from the Southeastern region of USA. Due to that the honey contained floral types common to the Southeastern region and not found in Michigan.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bryant|first1=Vaughn M.|last2=Jones|first2=Gretchen D.|date=2006-11-22|title=Forensic palynology: Current status of a rarely used technique in the United States of America|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0379073805006225|journal=Forensic Science International|language=en|volume=163|issue=3|pages=183–197|doi=10.1016/j.forsciint.2005.11.021|pmid=16504436|issn=0379-0738}}</ref>
