We Need to Act Now: Einstein warned that if the bees die, humans die

". . .  beekeepers and some researchers are starting to believe that a new class of pesticide, neonicotinoids, is to blame for the malady that has been seen since 2005. The pesticide has been found in hives of bees hit by colony collapse disorder.

Neonics, as they're referred to, have grown dramatically in use since 2005, the same period that bee deaths have risen."

Also, ribosomes of cells in bees sprayed with neonicotinoids were damaged and destroyed in the same hives that were sprayed with neonicotinoids.    Patent(s) for neonicotinoids cited ribosomal damage as a risk for neonicotinoids.

We do not have a choice.  Numerous nations have already banned neonicotinoids.   Why hasn't the US?   Are privatized cash bank accounts of less than 1% of our population worth more than the survival of 100%?

Outrageous.
