justcruzin - 2016-09-26 10:45 AM No worries, when we loose our pollinators we won't have any fruits and veggies to be concerned about, over 40% of the honeybees lost in 14-15. But hey, keep spraying those pesticide's.
 That's bullcrap. Bee numbers are higher now than they have been in a decade.  There have been losses, some from insecticides, but mostly from varroa mites and accompanying diseases. Beekeepers have replaced the losses and then some.   Don't believe every crap thing you read on the internet.  The scientific beekeeper is a great source for real bee info. 

 I typed a big reply then went to hit send and poof it went into  
cyber space. This actually depends on what source you go with. I had five or six sources that said the Bee populations are declining in the US. And Harvard did a study correlating the use of pesticides to the loss of the honeybee. Whatever the case, I'm going to do my part by not using pesticides.

The fact that the FDA has been defunded is a big part of the problem.  The packing houses know that the odds of them being inspected are small.  They feel safe cutting corners. 

Where did you get that information, Vickie? Are you sure about that, or did you pull it out of your ass? The FDA budget in 2009 was about 2.5 billion, and by 2016 it had doubled. How do you define "defunded"?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
