Federal scientists are researching whether the same industrial chemicals blamed for sickening and killing thousands of pets are responsible for decimating the honeybee population.
No link has been found, but researchers at the Department of Agriculture's Bee Research Laboratory and the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine are testing commercial bee feed for melamine-related compounds and doing feed tests on honeybees.

Honeybees in the United States began dying off in unprecedented numbers late last year, threatening the nation's human food supply, a third of which is dependent on bee pollination. A quarter of the nation's 2.4 million honeybee colonies died from what scientists dubbed Colony Collapse Disorder.

Chinese food ingredient imports have already contaminated pork, fish and poultry destined for human consumtion. -Thousands- of pets have died from contaminated Chinese pet food ingredients.
It is very noteworthy that the FDA is testing commercial bee feed. The FDA seldom does independant testing unless a problem is detected by the public.
After eight weeks, the Great Pet Food Massacre is still unfolding.
Simply amazing!
Biological warfare?
Pet Food and Bee Colony Collapse Disorder linked? - Ping!
I’m starting to wonder....
Not possible. Its already been diagnosed as global warming.
Not possible. Its already been diagnosed as global warming.
And cell phone usage.
So much for opening the door to the Chinese. They are trying to destroy us. Not that it matters. Its all money, you know?
It would be an ingenius way of causing problems.
I wouldn't believe it with pet food. But this reaches right into the food chain...
I don't expect it's gone un-noticed by our Islamist friends. (Assuming they're not already responsible)
No, the global warming hysteria is tied to another Gaia-worshiping malady - Cojone Collapse Disorder.
Never ascribe to evil intent that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Actually, more like stupidity combined with greed in this case.
That’s funny. I was just telling hubby about this story via our cell phones. The line cut out FOUR TIMES. That NEVER happens to us.
In the case of China I suspect greed, stupidity and carelessness. It’s others who may be watching that concerns me.
And just think, we have Bill Clinton to thank for “opening our economy to the Chinese.” Now just think, what can Hillary Clinton do to top her husband?
Cell phones and “global warming” have been around for a few years.
However,
Very interesting that the Bee Colony Collapse almost perfectly coincides with the melamine contamination late last year.
Bookmark for later followup.
LOL! Great one! Will add this to my non-pc lexicon.
