Silently, billions of bees are dying off and our entire food chain is in

pollinating 75% of growing plants. In five days the US could move to ban the
toxic pesticides that are killing them off.
Right now chemical companies are furiously lobbying US authorities to stop
action. But insider allies say a massive public mandate could tip the scales
towards a ban. Let's give it to them! If the US moves, it will set in motion a
ripple effect on the rest of the world.
Please join the call for a ban to save the honey bees:

As an aside, honey bees, which were imported from Europe, are only a small part
of the bee population and the native bees, many of which are solitary, are
equally if not more important in pollination. It's just that the honeybees
have lobbyists.

That is so true… <grin>, however, it also bears mentioning that Monsanto has
very much better lobbyists than the honeybees do…. living in a land with the
best government, money can buy.
