Never in history have honeybees and other pollinators been in such danger. Populations have declined up to 60% in 2009. In 1974 the EPA approved an encapsulated form of nerve gas parathion with time-released pesticide particles the size of pollen grains.

I've never read all this information, so thanks for posting it. There is a new administration. Food prices are going up. I have to write some letters to senators, and representatives.

This problem is very big. It's going to be a chain reaction, I think in some way every species on earth is going to suffer if we lose our honey bees. Its really interesting & frightening how a tiny creature like that has such a connection with all of nature........
