Bayer Gives Bees A Permanent Headache

organo-phosphate

 

In late October 2000, three thousand French beekeepers demonstrated for 3 days

in front of the Bayer pesticide factory in Cormery. They were demonstrating

against an organo-phosphate pesticide made by Bayer called Imidacloprid. It is

sold in France as Gaucho for seed treatment, as Confidor, a spray for fruit

trees, and Advantage, a treatment against fleas on dogs and cats.

 

As most organo-phosphates are, Imidaclprid is a neuro-toxin. The beekeepers,

especially in the Sunflower growing areas, feel that they are losing bee

population in their hives because of the presence of small quantities of the

pesticide in the nectar of the plants. When the seeds are treated, the pesticide

spreads through the plant as it grows. From the farmerÂ’s point of view, this

delivery system is ideal because it necessitates only an initial treatment and

minimizes labor.

 

The Dutch government has banned its use completely in open-air situations. The

product evidently also leaves a residue in the soil that completely destroys the

Earthworm population that is so important to soil conservation. It also gets

into weeds and other crops grown in the same ground. French beekeepers maintain

they have lost thousands of colonies to this pesticide and a sister

organo-phosphate called Fibronil produced by Aventis and are calling on the

French government to remove both products from the market.

 

While all this is taking place in Europe, you guessed it, the Canadian and US

governments are getting ready to approve the use of this pesticides on crops in

the US You are going to be reading a lot about this in 2001 – stay informed,

stay involved. Source: BetterBee, Inc. 2001 Catalog, p 28, New York.

 

 

 

Don't know, don't care, don't talk, don't stare, don't know, don't care

We live in fear the end is near and we are easy to control

It's an orange alert

It seems bees are in further trouble in this country.
