We can agree on this. Humans are exposed to a plethora of contaminants,
and our bodies have residues of these.
With respect to CCD, we were looking for chemicals that might be associated
with bees refusing to rob collapsed hive, pests not moving in.
We found so many chemicals, we couldn't pinpoint any one or one group. We
did see shifts from what we say in the 80s and 90s, so its a moving
target, different polluters, different ag practices.
The paradicholobenzene was particulary common and high in east coast
samples - and I've seen just how bad wax moth can be there - we've nothing like
it in MT. That said, looks like some are heavy handed in their use of the
product - and I like the suggestions for controlling moths without using
this chemical. FYI, Roger at the N.C. lab has now added PDB to the chemicals
that they routinely screen for, and as I understand, they too see it
showing up in some of the samples submitted.
