Re: Bee Deaths Due to Bayer?
Posted by Sharon on 9/16/08
Deborah,
Great article.
"The beginning of the marketing of Imidacloprid and
Clothianidin coincided with the occurrence of large scale bee
deaths in many European and American countries. Up to 70 per
cent of all hives have been affected. In France alone
approximately 90 billion bees died within ten years, reducing
honey production by up to 60%.
Harro Schultze, attorney of the Coalition against Bayer
Dangers said: 'The Public Prosecutor needs to clarify which
efforts BAYER undertook to prevent a ban of Imidacloprid and
Clothianidin after sales of both substances were stopped in
France. We´re suspecting that Bayer submitted flawed studies
to play down the risks of pesticide residues in treated
plants"
So is this what they think may be responsible for all the
dead bees here in the US? If the honey bees go, it is bad
news for all of us. No bees, no pollenating.
EPA sued for bee death data; 50-year pesticide cover-up; PAN
