Stop Killing Bees

Global warming has become the worst type of debatable subject: a political one.
By and large, it’s the liberal side that is blaming the actions of man for recent risies in average world temperatures.
The conservative side says these temperature swings have always taken place, and man can continue what he’s been doing with no fear that the temperatures will soon come back down.
The truth, as it usually does, lies in the middle.
However, the subject of today’s FamilyFirst pick has no such side-choosing.
The drop in honeybee numbers in the past 50 year5s by 50% is REAL. And it’s very, very worrisome. And one of its main causes is chemical pesticides.

Today’s FamilyFirst pick warns of the consequences of fewer honeybees and pollinating wasps. Unfortunately, mites are attacking bees, with disastrous results. But equally unfortunately, pesticides are also part of the mix, as farmers and homeowners have been using chemical treatment in unprecedented numbers to keep their crops and yards insect-free.
The problem is that what kills fleas and ticks also kills bees. And beehives are frequently found to be saturated with pesticides that accumulate there.
We need bees, friends, or our lives will be impacted in a way that makes rising ocean levels look harmless by comparison.
