Half A Billion Bees Drop Dead In Brazil Amid Jump In Pesticide Use

Bee apocalypse has unfolded in four of Brazil's southern states in 1Q19.
More than half a billion bees died earlier this year, in a short period,
experts are suggesting that pesticides are likely to be blamed, reported
Bloomberg.

Pesticides and GMO crops are totally safe. You should spray every
meal with some roundup.

How else are you going to feed 8 billion people?

But no. We don't have too many people...

That piece is another example of what comes out of the one screwball challenge
that your PC is connected to. It tries to draw a connection between Bolsnaro
taking office in January and bees dying in the next three months. Hello?
That would be something, for a president anywhere to be able to change things
so fast, so dramatically, to have that cause and effect be linked.
Like he did something, all the farmers immediately went out and started
spraying new chemicals, the bees immediately died.
Further, the figure is meaningless without some baseline. What is the normal
amount of bees that are expected to die in that period? This sounds more
like colony collapse disorder, the cause of which still remains a mystery.
But don't let science and facts stand in the way of a good hit piece.
