RE: Two New Studies Confirm Common Insecticide Weakens Honeybee Hives
We're trying to fight disease carrying mosquitos, while promoting beneficial insects like honey bees. There's got to be a way to take care of both. @ironshield
@ironshield - stop land clearance in rainforest areas would be a big start. Mozzies aren't fans of trees, but are fans of cleared areas where water gathers.
You will never eradicate malaria and dengue through mosquito spraying. It was a program developed so DDT could be flogged to 3rd world countries to get rid of the stock left when it was banned in western countries. I used to watch the spray teams in Solomon Islands dutifully spraying everywhere, and got dengue and malaria both. I also watched them regularly wash out the drums at one of the rivers. There were no fish in that estuary and the reefs off the mouth of the river were dead and devoid of life.
