in past few years, there has been mystery surrounding rapid decline of honeybees. @ first, cause evident: besieged bee mite. then, hives failing, bees leaving them vacant. perplexing mystery.
or perhaps not.
seems chemical giant bayer ag (the people brought aspirin , heroin) had dandy little pesticide called clothianidin wanted sell in us. plant-systemic substance acts neurotoxin on many nuisance insects. testing fast-tracked, extent chemical approved epa before results presented. despite serious concerns of of epa's own scientists, despite fact clothianidin banned in germany, france, italy , slovenia.
appears pesticide gets nectar of plants, diet of honeybees, , causes bees become disoriented, unable find way home before die. third of hives in failed last year, knows how many more year. nuisance insects problem, of american agriculture relies on honeybees production.
in case, looks deregulation not problem, regulatory agency rolled over. same net effect of libertarian free market ethos.
so democratic controlled executive agency paid off , stream rolled company , same net effect of libertarian free market scenario. ive never heard of more ridiculous. liberals hear free market , assume allowed whatever want, not case.
stop trying excuse failure of epa attacking other's viewpoints. shows regulations not work when regulators corrupt , in bed corporations , thing shows.
