Case in-point -
50,000 Bumblebees Dead After Neonicotinoid Pesticide Use in Oregon
"According to the Xerces Society,
this is the largest known incident of bumblebee deaths ever recorded in
the country. Bumblebees, which are crucial to the pollination of
multiple berry and seed crops grown in the Willamette valley—as well as
many other food crops across the country—have recently experienced
dramatic population declines, a fate similar to other pollinators."
And to think - Wilsonville - I turned down a job there a few years back.
