Obama moves to save the honey bees, targets pesticides

[Gracie]

She kinda fucked up with the OP so now must move on to Eagles. I wonder what is after that backup that fails?

Anyone else get the feeling that Stephanie is a high school student or college student? Just seems very immature. Obviously doesn't comprehend how many things we need the Bee for.

She is more like a high school drop out and she isn't 20 anymore

Hey Steph this thread is almost as good as the one you posted

Yay!.......

Government to the rescue.
No job too big or too small for Obama.
He must have his hand in everything.

How did he find out about this anyway?
I haven't seen anything on the news lately.

And Obama doesn't find out about anything unless it's on the news
and the incident happened months prior to the reporting.

Interesting.Maybe he feels comfortable in this area.
Or maybe he needs a win on something.

His track record has been in the toilet for some time now.

You go do the bee thing Obama.
Let Putin handle Iraq!

I guess Stephanie thinks grocery stores just magically produce food.

that was so uncalled for...and I guess you think this government has money trees growing in the back of the white house
whatever

You wouldn't know it if it bit you. It cost money to maintain a first world nation.

Something that the savages are clueless of.

Actually, it was absolutely called for.

Bees of many genii are in danger of extinction. We are not totally certain why, but lots of things are going wrong with bees right now, and obviously you didn't know this, but buts are an unbelievably important link in the food chain. Without bees, lots and lots and lots of things die - and fast.


It's really that simple.

What Obama is doing here is right, timely and practical.

 

[ScienceRocks]

It's a virus. A virus is causing the hive collapse.

Maybe obama just wants to spread disease. He's jealous of Africa and the way the DDT ban helped the spread of malaria.

Wow, you know more than scientists. Where did you get all your knowledge? Pray for it?

Heck, they want to defund science and kill all science institutions.

Uncalled for?

Did you actually just whine about being insulted?

Why, yes, I believe she did.

Nikki knows about beeeez.....

That would be great. You think he's dumb enough?

Come on, Steph, let's get that OP rolling again.

"Let's roll!!!"

The Right's love affair with pesticides has to be one of the weirdest fetishes ever discovered.

This man is frikken Insane...we have a crisis in the middle east/Iraq, our borders are being INVADED and he'S out to save a fucking bee...and they plan to spend Millions doing it...we are being HOSED by this administration and every damn government agency He is in charge of now it's a, PoLLINATOR HEALTH TASK FORCE...

SNIP:

President Obama on Friday announced plans to save endangered honey bees and other pollinators, for the first time ordering a probe into new types of pesticides that some local governments and 15 European Union nations have restricted or banned.

The long-awaited plan creates a “Pollinator Health Task Force” that has 180 days to come up with a plan to save bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The goal is to rid fields of harmful pesticides while planting food for the bugs, even on military bases an along railroad tracks. Virtually every Cabinet department will be included on the task force.

A key victory for the honey bee industry is Obama’s mention of “neonicotinoids,” a new type of pesticide product that many blame for the shocking loss of bees in the epidemic called “colony collapse disorder.”

In the six-page presidential memo, the White House singled out what it wants the Environmental Protection Agency to do:

“The Environmental Protection Agency shall assess the effect of pesticides, including neonicotinoids, on bee and other pollinator health and take action, as appropriate, to protect pollinators; engage state and tribal environmental, agricultural, and wildlife agencies in the development of state and tribal pollinator protection plans; encourage the incorporation of pollinator protection and habitat planting activities into green infrastructure and Superfund projects; and expedite review of registration applications for new products targeting pests harmful to pollinators.”

Some members of the EU voted last year to restrict the use of pesticides that include neuroactive neonicotinoid chemicals. Three are in use: clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiametoxam.

Pollinators, mostly bees, are responsible for much of what grows on farms.

In a related move, the Agriculture Department said it would spend $8 million to establish new habitats for honey bees in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Bees are pretty damned important in the Ecology of the planet......if something is fucking with them it needs to be found out....

So there's no need to worry about global warming.

This bee thing has been going on for a few years now...
Where was the O man?

 

[R.C. Christian]

I'm relatively certain the pesticide argument holds merit but there is deviant reason down deep that will likely explain why they are also pushing this. Probably some Monsanto bullshit somewhere.

You know, one of the cool things about being intelligent is the the ability to do more than one thing at the same time. Maybe one day you will learn to do just that!

And it's not just global warming: it's climate change overall.

Thank you for playing.
