		<description><![CDATA[
BEES pollinate up to 90 per cent of the world&#8217;s food crops. Without them, most of the foods we eat would disappear. Basically, we&#8217;d starve. So the ongoing issue about the dieback of bees in many countries should be ringing alarm bells  loudly in our ears.

There is an assumption upon which such development relies that there will always be food available from somewhere, even from abroad. Many are beginning to question [...]]]></description>
