Major food shortage in North America. Tainted Bee pollen from China is killing off the bee population.?

For the past several years North American farmers have purchased bee pollens from China. And we will find out that like the animal feeds, they are tainted. As you know the bee population has been on the decrease, They are critical to our food chain. How much time do we have? 5 years if we are lucky. Watch food prices soar and supermarket shelves go empty. What do you think and when will you write your congressman about it.Major food shortage in North America. Tainted Bee pollen from China is killing off the bee population.?
For those that do not know, bees are trucked around the country and farmers pay the beekeepers to release their bees to pollinate their crops. After the bees are done pollinating the crops they return to their hives and the beekeeper trucks them to the next farm.





While the bee population decline is a problem that needs to be addressed, it is not necessarily of grave concern. Many beekeepers kill off their bees each winter so that they do not have to feed them all winter. Honey is valuable and if they kill the bees, they have all the honey they stored all year. Beekeepers will replenish their bees before the next season and the cycle continues again.





There could be longterm problems, but hopefully scientists will address this issue before it becomes a major problem.Major food shortage in North America. Tainted Bee pollen from China is killing off the bee population.?
if the bees are going to die they are going to die everywhere, as far as crops are conserded there are ways of artificial pollination bees help but they arnt totally neccasry i dont think. alot of times a desese will come along and devour a spicies but a small percentage servive. because the are genetically stronger this might happen with honey bees too. but I dont think it can be contained to one country china would have the same problems. if they cant find a virus or someting than it might be someting like cell phones I just dont know why cell phones whould have such an effect of bees.
the problem is cell phone waves. just try to pry cell phones out of American's hands! that won't happen. I think we have 10 years before we go into a food shortage. either way, i'm stocking up on Ramen noodles NOW!





ps- i think China is trying to kill us all. you saw what they tried to do to our dogs and cats!
This is only the beginning,but dont be too sure that you may get help from above ,their motives are of a different flavour

I think china has some issues with trying to keep its economy afloat. To do this its found it needs to cut corners and this has resulted in many products from there being defective and or hazards. I think this will come back to bite china in the long run far more then letting there economy dive for awhile and slowly build it back up. Of course the US is partly responsible for this so its really the US doing itself in by helping china in bad ways.
What does tainted bee pollens has to do with dead bees. Bee keepers don't feed bee pollens from china, when they can get them for free in the wild or better yet. get paid by farmers to eat their pollens. Chinese bee pollen is for human consumption. I think their is a disease floating around the bee population. Probably mites or fungus. As for Chinese trying to poison us, I fthey were, they wouldn't make it so obvious with poisoning our dogs first. Now FDA is thinking of testing Chinese food more frequently. CHinese is underregulated, and The chinese need to turn back to their communist days and go after these corrupt businesssmen. Besides, the CHinese aren't stupid. They would add chemicals to increase sterility. We won't discover it until decades from now.
