1 million bees dead!

[Catherine]

Quote:We cannot let bees die like this! It is vitally important.

I do not trust the major pesticide-producing corporations one bit.

Truer words were never spoken.

The whole planet needs to wake up to the bee crisis. The EU is a real leader in this. It will be sad if England backslides. The USA has not begun to  clean up the mess. Sadly it means the death of many things that migrate to Canada. We haven't totally banned the neonicotinoids here either. The cities are better than the country right now. We are in the midst of a serious crisis and few are acting and  most are sort of talking about it, but not seriously.

I reminds me of neighbours who put a hot BBQ in a garage full of furniture and the mattresses caught fire. Then they stood around and yelled at each other about whose fault it was. Meanwhile the fire spread and did a lot of damage. We called the fire department for them. When there is an emergency, you need to act quickly. It no longer matters who caused it, you need to fix it.

Of course we know it is the big companies who produced the pesticides that have created the problem. They want to make money. Neonicotinoids are very profitable.  Never trust a major pesticide company where profits are concerned. They don't care about consequences.
