Anonymous Coward User ID: 72497887 United States 03/26/2019 08:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For at least 15yrs now, likely much longer corn seed packages have instructions stating that the dust from the anti-mold coating used on the seed kill honey bees dead. The instructions on the seed packaging go so far as to instruct the farmers to be aware of wind direction, and to immediately spray down all planting equipment afterward. These instructions were printed in plain English on every bag of commencial seed 15+yrs ago. It amazes me people are still pretending to be so stupid. Take a look at a commercial seed of corn. You see that coating on the seed? That is the anti mold agent that kills honey bees dead. |

"To such an extent that the scientists are now saying, 'This is dangerous.'" Quoting: CrankyFairy1 Freeman's hobby comes as bees face declining numbers across the globe. A 2016 survey supported by the Department of Agriculture revealed that between April 2015 and April 2016, beekeepers lost nearly half their colonies. Such reports have led to criticism of pesticides used in farming." (less than 50%) [link to thehill.com (secure)] Remember X-Files and the splicing of corn? [link to www.outerplaces.com (secure)] |
