Farmers provide their animals, bees included, with what feed they can buy.

The fact that animal-feed is chemically-deficient isn't the fault of the farmers, it is the fault of shoddy standards in animal-feed being more profitable than quality/integrity's standards,

& nobody legislated proper-nutrition-requirements for things like animal-food, baby-food, etc.

For-profit operations ONLY increase their costs when that increases profits, XOR when they're coerced into producing correct product/service.

Basic narcissism-centered economics, that.
