Bush EPA Rushed Approval Of Pesticide Now Tied To Honeybee Genocide!

New studies are now pointing to Neonicotinoid Pesticides, a form of pesticide based on nicotine. Research on these pesticides began in the 1980?s, and the first commercial neonicotinoid pesticide was introduced in 1994, but was not given approval for use in agriculture until 2005, when the Bush administration gave an exemption, allowing for its use before the full impact study of its use could be completed. This study is still ongoing.

He merely expanded the test subject to include the entire country. Now we know for a fact that it's not fit for the market place. Thanks, W!
