"At least 143 million of the 442 million acres—that is, nearly one-third—of US cropland is planted with crops treated with one of three neuroactive insecticides related to nicotine (a newer class of pesticide called neonicotinoids), all of which are known to be highly toxic to bees: clothianidin, imidacloprid, and/or thiamethoxam."

These companies know exactly how their chemicals impact bees. They simply refuse to change their practices. When they choose chemicals to mass produce, they perform testing on animals and plants for side effects. And they appear to be choosing the chemicals that are the MOST toxic to humans and animals, not the least toxic.

For example, the patent for glyphosate lists many alternative chemicals. Roundup is a formulation of glyphosate that combines synergistic chemicals to make them even more toxic to humans. Monsanto of course claims that this is an accident, yet there is a pattern of these types of choices.

Bees pollinate crops like corn and are the only reason food is produced by those plants. Without bees, there would only be a few kernels of corn per corncob from wind carrying the pollen. When bees die, agriculture collapses.
