A joint report by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture says the federal agencies will have to do more testing to be sure if pesticide is bad for bees.

Apparently basic common sense doesn’t factor in.

This report comes just days after the European Union’s recent announcement that three major types of pesticides produced by Biotech giants Syngenta and Bayer will be banned across all 27 member states specifically because research has proven all of these pesticides are contributing to the deaths of honeybees en masse.

Why is this a big deal? Because bees are responsible for pollinating over 100 crops. No bees, no crops. Bees equal food. Some have even estimated that as much as one out of every three bites of food we eat is there because of bees.

In response to the EU ban, CNN reported that Syngenta’s Chief Technology Officer gave the following statement:

“Instead of banning these products, the commission should now take the opportunity to address the real reasons for bee health decline: Disease, viruses and loss of habitat and nutrition.”

In a finding that will really *shock* most of you, it would appear the EPA and USDA have the same exact talking points as the Syngenta guy on their latest report. All have noted every reason except pesticides for why bees everywhere are dying, relegating the lucrative chemicals to the backburner with a statement about how more testing has to be done to be sure that pesticide is bad for bees.

Well how about this, USDA and EPA: is pesticide good for bees? Using the aforementioned common sense, I’m going to go with “no”.

And since more pesticide is being used now in greater quantities than ever before in the history of time on this planet, it seems plausible enough that it could maybe possibly be a contributing factor to bee decline.

There are so many reasons not to trust the USDA or EPA on this, that you would fall asleep reading it if I truly listed them all here.
