Scientists Testing Connection Between Melamine And Mass Bee Deaths

Federal researchers are trying to find a link between melamine-tainted foods and a syndrome dubbed “Colony Collapse Disorder.” CCD has been causing alarm as the bees needed to pollinate produce has been disappearing in droves.

According to the article, the FDA is testing bee feed for melamine.

CCD started last year, coinciding with the first known reports of melamine-tainted foods.

1. I can't believe they haven't found the source of this Melamine,

Someone has to make it, how did it get into food sources??

Talk about terrorism.

2. They know the source. That Chinese company that exported the gluten

also was buying up huge quantities of melamine scrap. And while the Chinese government held up the FDA inspectors' visas (presumably at the behest of the company), the company conveniently BULLDOZED the factory, destroying the evidence.

3. "started last year, coinciding with the first known reports of melamine-tainted foods."

Last year, huh.

Um, Mr. Waxman, Conyers . . .

4. Here's the more important question: why in the hell is anyone feeding

bees a "food" that contains SOY FLOUR??????????? Furthermore, is this from GMO soy???

This is like feeding cows dead chickens(and cows), or feeding cats fish. Makes ABSOLUTELY NO biological sense.
