Honey Bee decline

[Rita]

.
Scientists have been trying to nail down the cause of the decline of honey bees for years and it appears they may be CLOSER: clothianidin (produced by the German corporation Bayer CropScience)
".... no major independent study has verified the safety of this pesticide. While clothianidin has been used on corn ? the largest crop in the U.S. ? since 2003, it was officially approved by the Environmental Protection Agency last year on the basis of a single study, conducted by Bayer. However, recently leaked documents show that the study was actually debunked by the agency's own scientists, so the pesticide was effectively approved with no scientific backing."...

This is stunning... enraging! Bees are critical to sustainability. Haven't the 'powers that be' been putting out stories that some mysterious viral bee epidemic is the root of the mass die off? (as if a promiscuous out of control teenage bee population is self-detonating due to syphilis, std's, and bathsalts abuse :roll:.)

WHY do we continue to cherish our outdated trust that these federal regulatory/oversite agencies retain any vestige of purity of vision & purpose at their core???

I have a few wild hives on my farm, and a few have just disappeared. It is a real pleasure to sit by a bee hive and watch them come and go.
