Less chemicals means less wildlife lost. Without the bees there is less pollination. Less fruit and vegetables to eat.

Alan K. - I read all of the cited articles. Most were based in very small numbers of beehives in one very small area - or laboratory studies where bees were exposed to fat more pesticide than ever used in the fields. None dealt with the colony disruption that results from annual shipment of 2/3 of beehives to visit and support California agriculture. None even mentioned the consistent worldwide increase in bee colony numbers. I think it is very important to critically review sources of data - and not just believe the conclusion. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT (Anonymous) - Like I said I only cited the first few, there are hundreds from very reputable publications....search away! So I backtracked and used "Bee deaths linked to pesticides" on google search and came up with 229,000 results ...
