Summary: Recently, another top U.S. EPA official was hired by CropLifeAmerica.org. Many people feel that industry recruits top government workers to navigate through the system. However, it may just be that industry is trying to retain top people to avoid environmental catastrophes. Is this strategic or pragmatic? Also in the news, Japan has reported honeybee losses from pesticides used on rice paddies. Will Japanese beekeepers suffer the same fate as other beekeepers before action is taken? An Open Letter To American Beekeepers was published a month ago and is still drawing attention. What has been the impact of the letter? In this special series called “The Neonicotinoid View”, which is produced by The Organic View Radio Show, host June Stoyer and special guest co-host, Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald talk about these issues and more.
