Dead Bees: Pesticide Kills 50,000 In Car Park
and watch video: link
This makes my blood boils. Somebody needs to start being held accountable for what's going on with the bee population. How stupid can that guy on the video get? If it was something in the linden flowers, that had been there for years, that caused the deaths, why did it happen on just one day? Also, why start saying that its because they are European trees? The mind boggles!
A pesticide is being blamed for killing around 50,000 bees found dead in a shopping centre car park in the US state of Oregon.
They were discovered clustering under dozens of blooming European linden trees in Wilsonville, south-west of Portland.
The state Department of Agriculture said that tests showed the deaths were "directly related to a pesticide application on linden trees" that was meant to control aphids.
It is investigating whether the application of the pesticide Safari was against the law.
