United States Of America: The Land Of Milk And Honey

[Theja]

Kiwiland is known for exporting dairy products.

Because of a bee killing parasite, America is short of bees to keep up its agricultural harvest. So now California is importing bees from Australia to pollinate its almond crops.

Bee keepers are making good money -- enough to keep buying milk and honey.

Well that's very interesting. I've only ever heard of NZ being famous for its sheep and its rugby. But I had no idea about the bees of Australia. I don't think i saw one the whole time I was there.
