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
