Europeans finally found out what Americans have now for years that Pesticides are Hurting and Killing the Bees - Dispatch Times: "In the last report from Lund University showed that the pesticide, neonicotinoids negatively affects the wild and honey bees. This is the preferred pesticide for the prevention of infestation of the flea beetles on new rapeseed pants.

In the study is evidence that the honey bees that visited the rapeseed fields had a reduction in their reproduction capabilities and ability to mature to full size. What is unclear from the results being reported is that the honeybee colonies were reported as unaffected, but the number of bees visiting the treated fields was significantly reduced.

It is the wild bees that visit the flower petals of plants that pollinate other plants they visit. This is a natural process that must occur for the plants to reproduce. In American pesticides have been shown to devastate the wild bee population in the past decades to near collapse. This has many farmers being forced to use honeybee services to pollinate their fields."
