Neonicotinoids
March 27, 2013
Last
week 4 beekeepers sued the EPA for the agency’s lack of action against
insecticides that are linked to CCD. From the increasing twitter on social
media about neonicotinoids and bee loss, it seems this lawsuit has been a long
time in the making. Interestingly, around the same time these insecticides
started gaining attention, Bayer came out with a program to support bee health.
Bayer produces the neonicotinoids which currently
coat a majority of all corn seed planted in the U.S. Personally, I think it
will be quite interesting to see what happens in this lawsuit.
