"Reese Halter, author of The Incomparable Honeybee and the Economics of
Pollination said in an interview on CBC Radio's The Current that
agricultural herbicides and pesticides have emerged as the likely and prime
culprit for the disorder.... Gosh, that is so SIMPLE! Why didn't I think of
that?"



Dr. Halter also had an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch last Friday.
"Scientists understand the causes" of CCD, he said, then went on to cite
cell phone towers and global warming along with pesticides.

This guy seems to just be rehashing every cockamamie story that bounced
around the TV news a couple of years ago, but because he has a PhD attached
to his name people think he's an expert.
