Re: Have you written on bee pollen being contaminated by sick bees?
You've heard of the bees disappearing. Well, they said they found all kinds of garbage in their pollen, including insecticides, virus, bacteria and fungi. How safe is pollen?
You mean the same stuff that is found throughout our food supply and we have been ingesting for quite a while?
The article really falls short on many different levels. But in particular over the fact that levels were not mentioned. Virtually all plants in our food system, including a lot of "organic" produce can contain these same items. Even herbicides and pesticides from irrigation with contaminated water and farm carry over by wind and insects. And organic produce are notorious for having higher bacterial and fungal levels than other produce due to the lack of chemicals used. As for viruses, plant viruses do not necessarily affect humans.
Meats and dairy can also contain herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, etc, again even if organic.
So the article seems to rely more on scare tactics than facts!!!
