Systemic Pesticides are Indiscriminate Killers

The Issue

It is killing the Honey Bees and they are integral to our own successful existence, it is placing toxins into plants via root systems where they become part of the plant and they can harm not only the bees immune systems but our own as well. This is not banned in many European countries where they air on the side of caution as opposed to here, where the EPA uses a faulty system of risk assessment. Scientific studies presented to the EPA are conducted by the very companies that make the pesticides. This is lunacy and must be stopped.
