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.
Reply: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.
Reply: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!

Rising food prices,shortage of water,both hotter and colder weather,



Ultimately,Famine,Wars and death



in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result of heat waves ,as in France 2 years ago



,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing



each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss



and there is less and less water (because of deforestation) and the overpumping of carbon and surface aquifers ,and more and more agriculture requires irrigation



Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe.because of desertification and if the sea levels rise thousands of hectares on coastal lands will b flooded



Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.



The farmers have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.



Over the last half century,

Population growth %26amp; rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million



In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .



potable water is getting at critical levels and people are already fighting over water this will only get worse



Animals ,insects and flora is dying because of differences in temperature ,because links in the food chains are effected.



Albert Einstein said ,that when the bees disappear we have 4 more years to live

Reply: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.
Reply: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.

  • How do you tell the difference in black mold and mildew? The contractor is saying I'm a troublemaker,?

    I've been telling the owner where I live and work that I have black mold, which, the sheetrock behind all the walls, which black has come through the walls, and everytime it rains, which this has been going on for over 6 months, my house is flooded, and the baseboards have just fallen off, ect..covered in black speckled mold, is this black mold or mildew. He says it's mildew, but, this has been going on for such a long time, he hasn't seen it, he's going by what the contractor who has taken over six months to find the leak, and the owner is siding with what the contractor says, and I've gotten repiratory infections twice, stay on antibiotics, and my sinuses/allergies are so bad, which I take meds year round for arn't helping the pain in my face, thus, my dr. doesn't know anything else to do but send me to an ear, nose and throat dr. The owner says, that there is pollen in the air, which I know that, but, take meds for that and my meds arn't working, %26amp; can't keep taking antibiotics.

    How do you tell the difference in black mold and mildew? The contractor is saying I'm a troublemaker,?
    I would tell my landlord that I need to get out of the lease because the place is unlivable. They are obligated by law to provide you a healthy place to live. Its an actual law so dont let him rip you off. If he wont let you out of the lease fee free then tell him you are taking him to court. Trust me it will get the problem fixed one way or the other. I had the same problem. I got out of the lease and still got reimbursed for health care!
    Reply:sounds like you should contact the local Board of Health

    and look for a new place to live (landlord will be pis sed at you,sounds like he has a nice racket with the contractor)



    ps also contact a lawyer (local chapter of Legal Aid)



    as a tennant you DO have rights!!!
    Reply:sounds right.
    Reply:Absolutely what Sneaky said. It's mold, but that doesn't mean mildew can't be there too. That sorry piece that's your landlord needs to get his head on straight and fix the place.



    That could take a while. Meanwhile, you would be better off finding somewhere else to live.
    Reply:Sounds right he probably knows the contractor and he will tell you what the land lord tells him to tell you 6 months hope your'e lookin for a new place.


    Are the nuclei inside the pollen grain monoploid or diploid?

    Pollen Development:



    A pollen grain is an immature male gametophyte.

    It is produced within the sporangium of the anthers.

    The diploid microspore mother cell will undergo meiosis and form 4 haploid microspores.

    The microspores nuclei will undergo mitosis and produce a tube nucleus and a generative nucleus.

    A thick wall forms around the spore in a specific pattern, producing the pollen grain or immature male gametophyte.

    Are the nuclei inside the pollen grain monoploid or diploid?
    monoploid (haploid)
    Reply:The pollen grain being the male part of the new plant is haploid(monoploid)


    Is high pollen really bad for us or ....?

    Is it the fact that our bodies (bad diets and whatnot)cant take it..?..

    There seems to be more and more talk about allergies every year...

    I dont have issues with allergies I just wonder how natural pollen can be making us more sick every year .?

    Is high pollen really bad for us or ....?
    Damn good question. I've thought that trying not to expose people to germs reduces the bodies ability to fight them; it's our normal immune response. But pollen allergies are diffferent, maybe all those chemicals are changing our gene pool. The more society "advances" the more wimps we become, and consequently, easier for nature to off us. We don't need an asteroid like the dinosaurs, we're doing a good job on our own.
    Reply:My son is a chronic asthmatic and from research I've done, it seems that it's not so much the 'natural pollen' as the chemicals and pollutants that go alongside it that creates the problems.

    Recently we moved house and are now in an area surrounded by farms and fields, and I can tell you during the summer we really can't have the doors and windows open because all of us now get runny itchy eyes and breathing problems. When I go home to Ireland the problems clear up

    Bees pollen and royal jelly???

    Ive just bought some bee pollen royal jelly and propolis 3 in 1 tablets. What i want to know is is it the same stuff as honey? and if i eat honey and don't get any allergic reaction would i from these tablets?? i eat honey on a regular basis.

    I do have very mild hayfever in the summer but it has to be really hot for me to get it,and it's no so bad that i have to take stuff for it.

    Can anyone help?

    Bees pollen and royal jelly???
    Bee pollen is not honey, it is a by product of the bees, it gives you energy, as for the allergy i would say just try it, it may not bother you at all. Also you might be allergic to the dust, or a certain flower that grows in your area, that may not be in the bee pollen in the pill. Trial and error is the only to find things that work, but do a lot of research before you try new things. Good Luck

    Plant/pollen fertilization?

    Plants typically produce many more pollen grains than there are ovules to fertilize. What is the advantage of doing this?

    Plant/pollen fertilization?
    To maximize the number of ovules that are fertilized. To increase the probability that all ovules are fertilized.



    The cost of the production of extra pollen is far less to the plant species than the possibility of an ovule not being fertilized.
    Reply:indeed the pollen grains are a lot more than the ovules. The advantage of this is that it may not be many fertility assistants in the area, like honeybees or for those plants who are helped being fertilized by the wind, it may be not windy. Also, there's a chance that not all pollen grains are fertile or be sure that all pollen grains will be fertilized.

    Is tere a pollen filter in a toyota carina e 2000litre gli petrol?
    hahahahahahahaha, mate the toyota's alllll have pollen filters, they are very hard to get to though, you have to take the whole dash board and glove compartment out, then the filter has a box, which you have to open, which contains two filters the one on the left is a pollen filter, the one on the right is a carbon filter, if i was you i would go to toyota dealers , (they charged me £165 for my carina, they opened it up, then they replaced the filters with official toyota carina filters, then they closed it all up)
