It just makes you wonder what isn't allowed today. We got rid of DDT, but why is our government EPA, FDA, and the USDA so slow to address the real threat to society of the harmful effects of Neonicotoinoids, as well as the potentially harmful effects from the other practices in Genetically Modified Organisms of plants and animals? How long must we wait for action?
"Business will ultimately kill us and all life on this planet." Profit-seeking is inherently exploitative/predatory. It's a sad fact because "communism" is a field controlled by liars who are also exploitative/predatory.
Sat in the garden today drinking my coffee. Not a single bee or butterfly did I see, though my sister's plants were all in glorious bloom. It has been years since I saw a frog or a tadpole. I am 63, in my youth we had seasons, we had annual predictable migrations of insects and animals. We did not have tangerines or tomatoes year round or all the world's info at our fingertips, unless you count the encyclopedia collecting dust on the shelf. But we did have Nature and camping out. I wonder if my grand nephews and nieces will be able to say the same.
I’m 23 and I graduated from college in horticulture. My childhood was spent outside, in the grass, in the swamp, in the woods, and in my (now 70 yr old) dad’s garden. My whole life I have been studying plant life and I’ve found that my plant-loving friends and peers have a special view of our planet and our reality in common. My non-agriculture associated friends… they are living a different life and a different reality. They do not see the world in this same light. Not that I judge them, as far as I’m aware they had little to no interaction with real nature for most of their lives so they don’t even know what there is to appreciate. But in my opinion having the worlds info at our fingertips can be such an amazing thing, for example my 63 year old coworker commented on how I know SO much and I told her because I have access. Instant access. We all have access to credible information, all the time. But not all of us even know what questions to ask or where to look for accurate information. I think it is the fault of low quality education. If I didn’t have my dad to teach me the symbiosis between humans and nature I might not have become a researcher in search of answers to problems like the ones you’re talking about.
This is definitely interesting. I work in the pest control industry and I used products that they are talking about. Even though they make it seem like these pesticides are so dangerous, we constantly have to come back and retreat homes that continue to see insects and pest. Homes that are infested with roach and bed bugs have to be taken care of with some of these products because they are so bad. Also its crazy to say most yards that are treated “have no pest in them.” People are not going to spend the money to have their yards spray if they didn’t. Its idiotic to think yards don’t have bugs in them
They're talking about farmland, not personal homes. Hundreds to thousands of acres 'pre-emptively' washed with devastating poisons that runoff into the rivers, the sea, the drinking water, in defence of agricultural pests that aren't there. Homes dont usually budget a pest control agent unless they know they have pests, yes.
We're going to be like China, hand-pollinating everything and having soil that's grossly contaminated. Our soil is already highly contaminated with arsenic from pesticides used prior to DDT. This is why US brown rice has the highest arsenic level in the entire world. It's used in baby food and animal food as a filler and marketed in "health" sections of grocery stores in all sorts of products. The lead level in some foods is also high. Plus, the EPA still allows arsenic to be added to poultry and pork feed. This is with the current EPA. The current administration is determined to make the situation even worse.
IF that was really DDT that he ingested ? When they banned DDT Polio began to disappear. DDT caused paralysis not Polio. In Brazil where children were born with microcephaly they were spraying heavily with insecticides which can cause MICROCEPHALY ! The CDC/WHO lied and said it was caused by a virus with a scary exotic sounding name called Zika. Vaccines were never intended to provide immunity to viruses in fact they are used to inject aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, endocrine hormone disruptors, animal cell lines & cell lines from aborted female fetuses into unsuspecting victims causing immune suppression. Vaccines can cause brain injury, disease & death. Vaccines can also manipulate the sexuality of a developing child which is why we are seeing more transgenders & homosexuals than in previous decades. When I was a kid we got about 5 vaccines. Children weren't dying from the flu. Today by the time a child is a teenager they've been injected over 70 times with toxic vaccines ! Big Pharma controls the Healthkill system. The Rockefellers who are known population control proponents own Big Pharma. If doctors speak out against vaccines & pharmaceuticals they will lose their jobs & sometimes their lives.
no the getting rid insects species is not an options because if you get rid of one or two insects species will have dramatic changes to the cycle of life
Hello, I am currently studying my dissertation around the topic of CCD and was wondering if you could possible assist me on a link regarding the study carried out on colonies given Neonics against healthy bees. Thanks in advance.
QUIT TALKING ABOUT POLLINATORS--TALK ABOUT THE BIRDS THAT EAT THESE TOXIC INSECTS--PURPLE MARTINS?--TALK ABOUT BUTTERFLIES--MONARCHS? AND OTHERS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL INSECTS?
A very one sided narrow view as it misses the real issues of habitat loss (number one problem) and the growing use of fungicides. It was pointed out to me a new fungicide on the market is a chitin synthesis inhibitor, Hello insect exoskeletons are chitin. Another researcher pointed out that fungicides are having a negative impact on insect gut health and contributing to bumblebee decline. You all are being distracted from the real issues its' easy to believe the answer is so simple.
"A very one sided narrow view as it misses the real issues of habitat loss (number one problem) and the growing use of fungicides." Thanks for using the red herring fallacy.

Makes sense that something that is designed to kill insects would affect bees as well. Also, I don't want it in my own body.

It's not the "new" DDT...ITS FAR WORSE!!!!
Our latest investigation on the threats to bees, other key animals and ourselves from a pervasive pesticide used on most corn and soybeans in the US.
Thanks for sharing, this is very important for the well-being of Honey Bees and all humans in general

Thanks for putting this up .
this is a great documentary! thanks

They interviewed Bayer?!
Hello, I am currently studying my dissertation around the topic of CCD and was wondering if you could possible assist me on a link regarding the study carried out on colonies given Neonics against healthy bees. Thanks in advance.
More wonderful news......
billions in profits, of course it's wonderful
everyone is focused on neonics roundup was first an antibacterial, then a pesticide. and now a WMD including bees
You are so right!
Its insecticide not pesticide
Save the Bees! 🐝
You can have 9 billion plus humans, or a healthy global ecosystem. Not both.

Birds and butterflies are pollinators tho.....and without pollinators, there won't be any birds...

One sided view lol, did we have a narrow sided view on ddt?
Can't believe what we have done
BEEEEESSSSSSS
I could do without the earth worms. (just kidding hehe)
We can just genetically engineer resistant bees problem solved
