Pesticide & Fungicides Sprayed on Fruit, Nut & Seed crops Killing Bee's ($20 billion/yr in Pollinator Death Cost)

Modern synthetic chemicals sprayed on crops are killing the bee's clear & simple, no rebate as all the scientists & all the research even from the companies that make the chemicals clearly show that these substance are toxic to bee's, they are also neurotoxins & carcinogens that cause costly diseases in sensitive children as their early developmental stage body more sensitive to chemicals than an adult. These toxic substance are persistent in environments for years, ending up as dust that blows around long distances. 

Toxic POP persistent organic pesticide substances (NEONICOTINOIDS)  get into soil, air, dirt, rivers, lakes, streams, ponds & other ecosystems where they wreak havoc on bird eggs that never hatch, nearly every living creature on earth ends up being harmed somehow in some way by constantly low level exposure to these profit focused chemical substances sprayed on crops to prevent pests from ruining the crops. 

Parasites & mites & viruses also weaken the bee's, making them more sensitive to pesticides. It's a negative feedback loop of toxic pressures on the bee's they have a hard time coping with. The chemicals the kill the mites also harms the bee's by weakening the bee's immune system, then the pesticide caused CNS damage to the bee's, + fungicides are hard on the bee's hemolytic system (insect blood) and are a further cause of colony collapse disorder or CCD killing off bee colonies. 

Its hard for the farmers & they use the least amount possible, but its really a loss of communication between farms about who is spraying when, who has the bee's when, its communication breakdown that causes a lot of the bee death. 

Make a smartphone app called "Bee Strong" for Apple or Android that allows anyone to send their congress person or senator a message promoting bee protection methods that work like the protection for cattle & beef agriculture so we can upgrade Bee pollination by improving communication & spay schedules so nearby farms can coordinate to reduce bee harm, & lets work with the chemical companies to develop Bee safe pesticides & fungicides that are non-toxic to bee's!
