Does a rose by any other name smell as sweet?

"Health Canada says flupyradifurone may pose a risk to bees, birds, worms, spiders, small mammals and aquatic bugs

    What disturbs me the most about this chemical war is that data leaves out the word 'Humans'. Bees, birds, worms, spinders, bats, butterfly's, all pollinators, aquatic bugs, and HUMANS!... HELLLOOOO!

I can only think that as the door on one particular chemical closes, another one is waiting in the wings ready to be opened.  :sad:

Is that what you call giving the bees the flu?
