    I have a sister who works in the EPA. Seems like they are working on polluted water issues and bed bugs issues last I heard. I guess drinking water is being affected by pesticides as well. As yes, we will always have to deal with bugs. Countries like Italy, Slovenia and Germany are wise enough to realize that suspending the use of neonicotnoid treated seeds and banning the use of certain other pesticides will help the production and preservation of bee populations we depend on. We as Americans should be so bold as to believe that we could make a difference by following other countries example. Ban the use of pesticides from the areas of food production. If the use of pesticides was used in moderation that this would not be a topic of discussion. But it is a issue when we as people get so greedy that money and profit become more important than human life. We now have to protect our water, our animals, our food, and our bugs from the humans.

    Corporations are threatened by the unseen pollinator, the bee. The bee is the natural provider of pollination, honey, wax, and propolis. A smart CEO would try to capitalize on the possibility of bee production. Imagine CEOs who could actually see into the future market for pollinators, the bees. Man can not produce a bee. But man can assist, develop relations, market, and use the produces from bee production. Why not invest into bee companies? Why not promote more backyard bee keepers? Why not see about investing some time and energy into supporting the bee production and making the US again a nation of responsible creative thinkers instead of killers? Fear causes people to kill. Killing the bees does not help it hurts.

    We are citizens with a conscience and members of society who need to look out for the best interest of our community, our nation and the world. US needs to be a leader and take their position to lead ethically and logically by modeling good and responsible business. Science has proven that our natural pollinators, the bees, are being affected by the new pesticides. Stand up for what is right, the bees can't talk and defend themselves...people need to be the caretakers. Logically, protect our future generations, our children, our crops, our resources...limit the use of these bio-nerve agents...it is even affecting the bees. Business CEOs need to take a more responsible stand and show their good faith in preserving life.

    Putting into operation a trial "operation pollinator" would allow companies to pay farmers to plant and grow flowers next to crops being sprayed with neonicotinoid to attract bees to the infected fields of poison. This act would be like asking our own children to drink poison kool aid. And what is worst is CEOs that try to argue that they possess the intelligence, technology, man power, equipment, and supply of pollination for all the plants, fruits and vegetables that we consume. That is blasphemy. Bees do their job for free. They were created for that purpose. The bees are only part of the equation. The other part is educating business persons to be responsible and ethical.

    As a seasoned veteran of the computer industry, and having worked in government. This all seems a little suspicious. First of all, nobody has ever heard of backups? Where were these computers? If they are on gov't networks, they are backed up. If it came via e-mail, that email was backed up. This sounds like normal BS with both sides covering something. I'm calling hogwash on this.
