Headline: EPA expands use of pesticide that can be toxic to bees. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/12/politics/epa-expands-pesticide-sulfoxaflor-bees/index.html
The EPA will require a statement on product labels that says: "This product is highly toxic to bees and other pollinating insects exposed to direct treatment or to residues in/on blooming crops or weeds. Protect pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and reduce pesticide risk to these organisms." BUT BEES CAN'T READ!
But critics are hammering what they see as the Trump administration's disregard for the threatened bee population.
"The Trump EPA's reckless approval of this bee-killing pesticide ... without any public process is a terrible blow to imperiled pollinators," Lori Ann Burd, a Center for Biological Diversity director and senior attorney, told CNN on Friday.
