Where are the protests by Trump supporters? Where are the FOX news stories showing what a huge mistake this is? They don't care. It's not more complicated than that, they don't understand and they don't care. Trump's people said no budget for it, yet he found $5 million to pose in front of tanks in a matter of minutes. The GOP is about as anti-environment as it gets but letting the bee population die is full on insane.

Everyone knows why honeybees are dying. Pesticides. No use throwing good money after bad.

With that being the case, why do Republicans continue to insist on letting Monsanto do whatever they want unchecked? The idea of them releasing genetically engineered ants into the wild sounds like the beginning of a dystopian horror movie.

<--- A Trump supporter here.

Why do we need to pay for another STUDY??? We already know that honeybees are in distress. We need to just go ahead and stop using pesticides around our residences and in agriculture. Just on a grassroots level, each one of us can make a difference by not using pesticides and lawn chemicals around our homes and yards, and also only buy organic produce. We can also plant flowers that bees like.

It is just mind-boggling to watch. People wonder how George Washington could die of bloodletting. It's the same kind of mindset happening here.

We already know it is the globalist. and the GMO's. The genetic modiication, allows the plant to tolerate the harsh pesticides. Pesticides that kill ALL insects.... birds... hogs... raccoons.... squirrels

Why don't liberals just boycott Monsanto products? Why not hold protests at their headquarters??

There is no need to waste money to pay scientists to make observations about what we already know is true.

Trump is the one allowing the pesticides. Get it? His EPA has relaxed pesticide rules all over the place in the name of the "economy" and avoids any studies that would show the damaging results. This is not hard to understand.


In June, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued another emergency declaration to allow the spraying of sulfoxaflor, a kind of neonicotinoid — a powerful pesticide — which attacks the nervous system in bees.

Can you tell us when we are going to die... I am still here... Thought I was going to die from global warming yesterday... Didn't happen... In fact, the deranged idea that anyone is going to die if they don't listen to you is getting old....
