Summerville #SC: Millions of #Bees dead ‘Like it’s been nuked' after Dorchester County sprays for mosquitoes. Petition included. | WashingtonPost

The article is from the Washington Post Sept 1, 2016 edition. How can "authorities" do this clueless act!!?? They don't give sufficient notice or return phone calls either. The prospects of #Zika virus are not as significant a problem as Bees are a significant blessing. Government sometimes really runs amuck. The insecticide they used is called Naled and is highly controversial, with some reporting that it is harmful to human fetuses. This insecticide is banned in Europe. I signed the petition referenced in the article. Please sign, share and beware in your own town or county.
