US and Argentina fight over honey

摘要

Arull, Argentina - Scores of angry bees are swarming around his head, but Juan Jose Baudino doesn't mind. It is harvest time here on the pampas, and as he moves from hive to hive, removing trays to check the production and health of his bee colonies,sticky, golden honey oozes from the combs. A few miles down the road, a gleaming new processing plant, financed by contributions from hundreds of local beekeepers, is also buzzing with activity. There, gallon after gallon of honey is separated from wax.Some of the honey will be either bottled and trucked to supermarkets in Buenos Aires, or poured into metal drums and shipped to Germany, France and Spain.
