Money is on China spending millions on ensuring bee survival/research as well as not overusing pesticides and replacing natural growths with monoculture plants.

That’s not true, the US is leagues better at, uh… checks notes genocide
China is so good at genocide it looks like it isn’t even happening and if it is it has nothing to do with them. Have you not seen the low birthrates in Japan? South korea is suffering the same fate. Who do you think taught Koreans the Juche necromancy to accomplish that? You can see that they have started on western nations as well. (this is a joke just in case that wasn’t clear)
… and having military bases
What’s China’s stance on pesticide use? Cause we basically have to breathe that shit in the US.
From what I’ve read they do use pesticides, but also a lot of traditional methods for pest control.
Every single industrial agriculture plot of land in the world uses pesticides, herbicides, etc… the thing is that US farmers can use more because they are heavily subsidized and have more cash to spend on their crops or whatever.
There is also less wild vegetation in the US due the size of the plots, for example in Mexico there is rarely a plot of land bigger than 50ha, most plots are 4ha and multiples due to the ejido policy, and between the plots there is almost always canals or trees that serve as a natural way to divide the land, these tree lines and canals unintentionally protect wildlife. Its overall a much less efficient way of farming but i guess it protects wildlife.
Something many people from México say jokingly is that the US is so clean (in regards to the highways) that whenever you drive into the US, you no longer have to wipe bugs off the front of your car, so there may be some truth on that lol
It’s something we’ve noticed here to. If you went on a long drive a couple decades ago you’d have to clean all the bugs off you’re car. Now it’s eirey how clean they can be even after driving across a state
I’ve heard this is mostly due to pesticides - they’ve basically sterilized all farmland at this point.
depends on the season… i drove from utah to california a couple summers ago and hit swarms of bugs so thick I had to stop at each and every gas station on the highway for at least 30 miles to clean the windshield so I could see enough to drive.
also there was some plague of mormon crickets that was so thick in utah that traction control kept freaking out and giving me mini-heart attacks as we slid down the highway
if i hadn’t seen it with my own eyes i’d never have believed it
No Monsanto no problem
they can’t live under capitalism
Simply impressive!
