Trump Admin. has lifted ban on using bee-killing pesticides in wildlife areas...

where there is farming.




The world is perplexed about the disappearance of bees across the world. Humans need bees to pollinate plants. Some scientists think the widespread use of certain pesticides plays a big part in killing the bees.

There's no end to the ruin these people are leaving in their wake. No insect, no animal, no person, no economy is left unaffected and healthy, once they wave their wand over it.

least only in wildlife refuges where there is farming is less evil.

Can't be a lot of that kind of land...e.g. zero in Alaska.

Did a search...hard to find exact info. but farm average on refuges are declining historically and consistently.
