EU agrees on total ban of bee-harming pesticides
Loss of bees is just the tip of the iceberg ... insects generally have largely vanished even from the countryside here in upstate New York ... in NYC going back to the Nile Virus scare from 20 years ago the city has been performing routine aerial insect spraying so today there is a noticeable lack of any insects, no mosquitoes no flies no butterflies ... problem is this total drop off of insects has also happened hundreds of miles from the city ... as a child I used to see tons of flying insects on any country hike however today I see a tiny fraction of those insect species ... this is hard evidence
