[QUOTE=DustyButt]  
Did anyone mention the mass spraying that goes on for mosquitos to eliminate the west nile virus. I mean the trucks drive around indiscriminately dusting EVERYTHING.

Is there any corelation between the use of this method of pest control and the dwindeling bee population???

In our area there is no spraying for mosquitoes. However there are no bees. Why are wasps still around though.
