Why are bees dying by millions?

Live healthy and long

Repost from Dr. Mercola archives | July 23, 2013

Millions of bees and beehive colonies are rapidly dying for "unknown reasons?"  But the cause has been traced to use of neonicotinoid pesticide.  And farmers are suing EPA for allowing Sulfoxaflor, a fourth generation neonicotinoid.

One such death of bumblebees occurred in Oregon where ODA (Oregon Dept of Agriculture) approved the use of Safari, whose active ingredient is dinotefuran, a neonicotinoid.

Bees are important, cheap means of pollinating fruit trees;  and without them, without pollination, fruits will not develop thus yields for farmers will dwindle and even vanish.

An active effort must be made to prevent further deaths of bees; lest tree and fruit farming also vanish
