I can understand the nationwide fear that is spreading right now, but I feel like people are going a little to the extreme. Reasonable precautions should be enough to keep everyone safe. But I feel that with the media and constant news coverage people are starting to freak themselves out. Killing bee's that have nothing to do with the matter could cause dangerous environmental repercussions.The population of bee's are already on decline, and we should do everything possible to reverse that.
ReplyDeleteBees are very important to our ecosystem and when something like this happens I don't know why people aren't more alarmed. There should be more precautions taken when using sprays that could affect insects valuable to nature.
