As you know, we manufacture pollen traps.

I was just talking to a major user of pollen in the United States.  They
reported to me that the USDA in Beltsville has found pollen imported from
China contains viable honeybee viruses not previously found in US
honeybees.  The US imports thousands of pounds of Chinese pollen a year.

The US also imports large quantities of royal jelly from China.

Anyone with Beltsville contacts know more about what has been found in these
regards?
