This is the kind of news we can’t get enough of. We know that bees as pollinators play a critical role in our food supply. We also know that chemical pesticides are a major cause of the widespread dying of bees. Nevertheless, farmers in the U.K. requested to use a banned pesticide to fight a beetle that threatened their oilseed rape harvest. The U.K government protected the larger interests of society and rejected the request for the second time. Farmers need help in these circumstances, but we have to find less harmful ways to help them.
