    This is so heart breaking I love Bumblebees, they are such a docile bee. I remember so many times pruning dead raspberry canes in the rows and being surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of Bumblebees. I did my work and they did their work and we worked just inches from one another. I hope people in the Wilsonville ,OR area are outraged over this horrible killing of bees and take steps that this never happens again.

    We are spreading the news over social media. Perhaps letters to the editors of the news papers and posting of the Facebook pages of legislators will be good BUT if you really want to make an impact, post on Ag and farmer sites. Spread the news. Secrecy empowers the bully. Spread the facts, just the facts. Inform those who will be impacted financially who otherwise do not care.

  3. How many bees will die or disappear before people realize the affect pesticides and herbicides have on them and other insects CRITICAL to our survival?
    We need a new category for arrest and punishment — crimes against nature. Which would be appropriate for corporations as well as people.

      No need to worry Kristina, I'm sure Monsanto and/or Safari are already working on a GMO bumblebee that is unaffected by Dinotefuran. The downside is every time a GMO bee pollinates one of your plants a licencing fee will have to be paid to the GMO bumble bee patent holder.
      Cheers.

  4. Could this be concidered as an act of terrorism ?

  5. I was driving by there the other day and every tree in the entire Target lot was wrapped in black tarping, looked really strange and I wondered what was going on.
    This is aweful

    Please tell me that the company that sprayed was fined for off label use!

    Bees are workers. As I see it, they are heaven's metaphor and indicator for the death of respect in our society for those who do honest, socially-beneficial labor.
