Obama moves to save the honey bees, targets pesticides

On this one Steph I have to agree that this is an urgent situation that should have been dealt with years ago.

You lose your pollinators you lose your food. No guff. It's a big deal.

Even the EU has been late to the party but they've finally moved on it. Check it out:

The dangerous chemical Bayer makes is a neonicotinoid, or neonic. Neonics are soaked into seeds, spreading through the plant and killing insects stopping by for a snack. These pesticides can easily be replaced by other chemicals which don’t have such a devastating effect on the food chain. But companies like Bayer and Syngenta make a fortune from selling neonics -- so they’ll do everything they can to protect their profits.

The EU banned these bee-killers this past May, after a massive public campaign and a clear scientific finding from the European Food Safety Authority that neonics pose huge risks to bee populations. Bayer fought against the ban every step of the way, using tactics taken from Big Tobacco -- pouring millions into lobbying and fake science to stop decision-makers from taking action.

I'm not saying I disagreed with the bee thing
It's the new government task force and the millions of dollars. while I think it can be dealt with another way in the private sector..plus it won't help us when all these other country are still sending their pollution on us

I'm with you on the quizzillions of dollars being spent to "find a made in America solution" when we know that neonics are the obvious man made problem. Up here they always do the dog and pony show too to find the "made in Canada" solution instead of just cutting to the chase and dealing with the problem.

So you are back pedaling off your trolling...we get it...you want zero government..

Says the far left Obama drone Troll!
 
National Geo had a thing about the mysterious thing that is killing them off.....23% in this Country alone.....it is pretty serious....

i put a link up, its quite a few things killing them off it seems.

yea they said the Wild Bee population is faring worse than the domestic ones because no one is out there helping them like they are for the Honeybees....

Shame really...we have selfish people in the middle east to busy pumping their religions for power and while that is going on we could see a collapse in the food chain..

People are stupid.

And the far left is killing off bees now and they want to blame someone else and get the government to come in and save the day..

they're pretenders of selective caring and phonies in my book
 
Further proof that you seen one far left post you have seen them all..

Plas might be left.....but he aint no far Lefty.....

Yes he is!

Otherwise I am sure you can show at least one post where he has disagreed with any far leftie on this board

not strange, just typical. We are short sighted and only want to think of ourselves for the most part.

Yes he is a far leftie and it is not him agreeing with you, it is you agreeing with the far left. And it does work like that, you agree with the far left, they do not agree with you.

He is a far left Obama drone and will always be a far left Obama drone until 2016 when he will vote Clinton and become a far left Clinton drone.

so because the third world is behind technologically we should just let the Bees die off?..........the private industries have been working on this for a good decade or more,and its getting worse.....this problem needs everyone coming together.....including Govts who have the clout and infrastructure to stop this...

Well Obama also lifted a ban on hunting the bald Eagle for religious purposes for certain Indian tribes.

Never the less Obama is to blame and the far left will do nothing, but look the other way.

The Bee problem is not world wide it is only happening in certain regions. Please do try and keep up...
