"USA bee massacre

Millions of bees were wiped out in South Carolina on 28 August by a pesticide sprayed with the aim of killing mosquitoes that can transmit the Zika virus.

In response to four local cases of Zika, Dorchester County used a plane to spray Naled, a neurotoxin that kills adult mosquitoes and other insects while they are airborne.

But the four infected people all caught the virus before arriving in South Carolina: no one in the state has yet acquired Zika locally. And the bees could have been spared by spraying when mosquitoes are active but the bees are in their hives."

New Scientist Issue 3090.

Interesting, we won't survive more than 4 years without pollinators yet we cannot protect them at all???
