Your personal experience does not speak for the experience of every bee keeper in North America. Ever consider it's your technique or area? A simple google search will tell you that honey production is increasing. Your logic is like someone saying the trucking industry is dying because their specific trucking company has had 9 out 10 of their trucks crash every year because of incompetent drivers.
And yes, supermarket honey more often than not IS honey. It's just processed honey. Which admittedly is much worse than non processed honey. But nearly every supermarket on planet earth will sell both processed and unprocessed honey in the exact same aisle so you just have read.
As for dead bees, the fact you're trying to use that as evidence tells me you don't know what you're doing as a bee keeper. That is COMMON. Drone bees only have a life span of about 20-30 days AT MAXIMUM and they reproduce like few other creatures on planet earth. So having thousands of dead bees inside the hive is EXTREMELY common. Especially if you don't clean them frequently and only do it once every so often
I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were the see-all, know-all and tell-all of bee wisdom and your vast experience and knowledge speaks for every beekeeper in America.
Your misinformation and ignorance are based on your what? Your infinite knowledge of all things bees? Stop peddling bullshit and pretending that you know more than people who have been doing this for decades.
Nice ad hominem argument. Notice how you didn’t refute a single point I made. Especially how a simple google search proves I’m correct. Devolving into name calling immediately after being told something that counteracts your point of view doesn’t help your case much.
Besides not once did I claim to be an “all knowing bee seer”. I, like everyone else on planet earth, just spent 10 minutes researching it on google to come to my conclusion.
If anything, you’re the one trying to pretend to be all knowing. Basing an entire continent spanning industry, with the single most varied set of geography and climates on planet earth, on your single localized experience.
I suppose the orange industry is also dying off because Florida is growing slightly fewer oranges while California is growing more than ever as well? Just because something is one way in one area, doesn’t mean it’s that way EVERYWHERE in the country. It may very well be as you say where you live, I don’t doubt your word of where you live. But to claim it’s a nation wide phenomenon when all the evidence and fats is contrary to the fact is simply wrong
