Actually, the crux of the case was not that DDT was harmless. But that the beekeepers failed to prove that it caused harm to their hives. Which was the point of my post.
The location of all the bee yards outside all of
the areas sprayed, the absence of any chemical
analysis or other evidence of DDT in any bee or
hive, the lack of any evidence of the actual drifting
of any spray, the relatively great distances between
the areas sprayed and most of the bee yards
damaged and relatively great lapse of time between
spraying and damage to the closer yards,
the pilots' experience and precautions, the knowledge
gleaned from past experience and the overwhelming
weight of the expert testimony amply
support the Trial Court 's findings that claimants
had failed to prove either that the State spraying
caused their losses or that the State was negligent
in any event. The issues were factual and their
resolution was well supported by the evidence.
