Honey bee colonies have experienced widespread die-offs in a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder. A class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids are wea...kening the bees, if not killing them outright. Mega-corporations are making a killing off their pesticidesbut are they also getting away with murder? Minnesota beekeeper Steve Ellis likens the bees that are exposed to neonics to cancer patients. Even if they don’t die from the chemical, their immune systems are weakened enough to make them susceptible to other ailments. When bees come in contact with a lot of these chemicals, it makes them sick and it also makes them mad. It’s part of the disorientation. They’re jumpy. They sting more, which also kills them. It’s no fun to work bad bees. It’s just about the most depressing thing a beekeeper can do. We know that pesticides such as neonicotinoids and glyphosate harm the bees and other pollinators, causing mass die-offs. The EPA should be banning these chemicals. But what does the EPA do instead? Most recently, EPA put bee-killing pesticide, sulfoxaflor, back on the market and expanded its use. The Trump administration has promised to deregulate at all costs so that corporations can profit at the expense of America's health and the environment.
