Millions More Dead Honey Bees - The CDC and EPA approved and recommended aerial spraying...

The CDC and EPA have approved and recommended the aerial spraying of a bee-killing pesticide called Naled to fight mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus. But this mosquito control tactic has not yet been proven to be fully effective for Zika—and it has already killed millions of honey bees. We must consider risks to pollinators, wildlife, and human health and create stronger guidelines on the aerial application of powerful neurotoxins, such as Naled.
