Hi All,

Just wondering what you opinion is on this.


News Article:

"An unexpected victim, the honeybee’s population decreased when the use of 
DDT was discontinued, while the ban helped the increase the number of 
mosquitoes." 

"Without DDT, the other more toxic pesticides applied to crops caused 
serious damage to bees, wiping out entire commercial operations. Suddenly 
agriculture was threatening to the bees it depended on."
