According to the EPA over 90% of the water tested now test positive of pesticides. EPA data since the 1950s has tracked the decline of the honey bees. The only time they recovered, in the EPA data, was a short period between 1978-1982 which happen to coincided with Carter Administration strict pesticide regulation. The most restricted pesticide regulation in the last 60 years. These pesticides in the water are destroying the 30K+ species of bees and other insects necessary for agriculture. Because theu lack a detox gene to deal with the toxins. Due to the current documented collapse of bees in the last 5 years we MUST consider seriously restricting and limiting pesticide use. We must consider the tolerance of pesticides on no just human's but on the bees that are required for farming. #StopPesticides before they Stop Us.
