This is one move Obama has made that I agree with.
(Hey, in six years, he makes a lot of moves: he was bound to get one right sometime.)
“This is one move Obama has made that I agree with.”
Well just dont let it happen again ;-)
I would argue that a bigger threat to wild honey bee populations would be the increased market demand for honey. This necessitates more commercial colonies and more commercial colonies means more pressure for the available nectar required to sustain wild colonies. Spraying pesticides on nectar sources surely doesn’t help I’m sure.
Under which particular law is this order lawful? Might as well ask yourself that question before you support it.
On the surface, I'd almost have to agree.
But considering it's something obama is behind and for, I just can't shake the creeping suspicion that this is going to backfire in a way that we can't even comprehend yet.
The crop dusters were spraying with encapsulated poison. The worker bees would take the poison back to the hives and it would decimate the hive. Sometimes killing the existing queen.
It was very disheartening to say the least.
Some of the hives would not recuperate before winter and would die out. It would have a devastating impact on the honey and bee population. He sold bees as well as honey.
I sympathize with the bee keepers. The bees provide pollination for the farmers and the farmers, by spraying, decimate the hives of the bee keepers.
It's very sad from the bee keepers perspective.
yep - someone must have advised him he’s gotta do SOMEthing positive - and they figure this is as benign and safe.
Remains to be seen if it’s honest - or a double-blind to impede those who may be working to REALLY stop the poisoning of our foods - that kill the bees = without which, we will have no food.
I smell duplicity - as “O” and crowd are too far up Monsanto’s nether region to outwardly buck them.
