I have taken several reporters to see the source of all the "problems of
bees".

I take them to very photogenic settings.

We go to either the port of Newark NJ, or the port of Bayonne, NJ.



I point to the containers being offloaded from ships and put onto trucks or
railcars, and say "see, no one knows if that container contains more Asian
Longhorned Beetles, a swarm of bees with a horrible new invasive pathogen, a
dozen illegal aliens with a chemical toilet and dreams of opening their own
nail salons, or a dirty bomb addressed to an orphanage.  And no one inspects
any of the containers at all."



A few people have actually written about this, which is heartening.
