We don't think about the bees and other insects safety, we think more about ourselves than we do other creatures we think were at the top of the food chain but if we keep going at a rate like this there wont be a food chain to be part of. In the text she said "I was crying and throwing up, I couldn't stop." I think that https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309274163 2018-11-29 13:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309274163 I do not think they should spray for the Zika virus. The article says "The death toll easily exceeds two million bees, and Dorchester County officials are still tabulating how many more might have been killed when a day of aerial spraying, scheduled to combat mosquitoes that could be carrying viruses like Zika, went awry." The other article says “This is much more than just how much those little dead bees are worth,” Ms. Stanley said. “My entire business is dead, and it’s not like I can just go out shopping and buy some more bees and get right back on track.” https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309298051 2018-11-29 14:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309298051 The Zika Virus is a harmful power to the earth by a death toll easily exceeds 2 million bees. Also the potent pesticide with which the local authorities had intended to 🤬 mosquitoes. https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309306453 2018-11-29 14:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309306453 no because the zika spray will 🤬 bees that we need to have so they can pollinate and have food. For that reason, "We, as humans, are not doing the research and finding out the facts before we make decisions.” a second reason is, “I think this shows how easy it is to forget best practices when faced with emerging issues — and killing bees is probably not the biggest impact,” he said. “If you’re killing honeybees, you’re killing a lot of other non-honeybee pollinators, too, and those populations could take a long time to recover.” That's why the zika spray should not be sprayed. https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309508140 2018-11-29 19:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marissaluipersbeck/klbdfi0aym9h/wish/309508140
