Default New kind of pesticide is killing off Bees.




http://www.independent.co.uk/environ...g-2189267.html



Poxy Krauts



"Bayer, the German chemicals giant which developed the insecticides and makes most of them, insists that they are safe "


"A new generation of pesticides is making honeybees far more susceptible to disease, even at tiny doses, and may be a clue to the mysterious colony collapse disorder that has devastated bees across the world, the US government's leading bee researcher has found. Yet the discovery has remained unpublished for nearly two years since it was made by the US Department of Agriculture's Bee Research Laboratory.
The release of such a finding from the American government's own bee lab would put a major question mark over the use of neonicotinoid insecticides – relatively new compounds which mimic the insect-killing properties of nicotine, and which are increasingly used on crops in the US, Britain and around the world."

Bees are needed for our plants.


Its the Chain.


Honey bees are essential for British farmers and are thought to contribute around £200million to the economy by pollinating crops on farms, allotments and in gardens.

I thought it had been common knowledge for years that Britain's honeybees were dying out.
