A British Guiana law of 1892 prohibited the colouring or staining of food or drink in a way to render it injurious to health. The law allowed for rum to be artificially coloured with caramel or burnt sugar or molasses only, in a specified way. It was illegal to use any other food colouring or dye like annato in the making of rum.

Under another law, only licensed companies with approved equipment and methods could manufacture and sell rum. That law was initially intended to protect the interests of Bookers and other sugar planters. Later, it was extended to include companies like D'Aguiar's and D'Andrade's and CV White's, owned by Portuguese.

Raghubar didn't meet the legal requirements to manufacture his Bee Hive Rum. Neither he nor his rum had the correct colouring.
