Millions of honey bees are being killed because if the strong measures being taken to stop the spread of Zika through the mosquito population in South Carolina.
"On Saturday, it was total energy, millions of bees foraging, pollinating, making honey for winter," beekeeper Juanita Stanley said. "Today, it stinks of death. Maggots and other insects are feeding on the honey and the baby bees who are still in the hives. It's heartbreaking."
"Those that didn't die immediately were poisoned trying to drag out the dead," Stanley said. "Now, I'm going to have to destroy my hives, the honey, all my equipment. It's all contaminated." Source cnn
This could have been prevented with a warning that spraying was going to happen. Even the firechief and hobbyist beekeeper did not know spraying was going to happen. Is this a poor communication error or a tactic to avoid a deley by proponents to spraying.
Hearing reports on my local radio WBZ it is happening in all areas Spraying is effective but blanketing instead of organizing a ground crew without warning is also harmful to our ecosystem and peoples health who are sensitive to this. There are other officials who seem like the mayor in Jaws putting health at risk to keep tourists coming by downplaying the dangers in the area. Contact your local and state authority people must know what is happening before another massacre.
