Killing bees should be way down at the bottom of our list of priorities.

Bees should be declared as the MOST endangered species in the entire world.

This is what freedom and deregulation looks like guys.

Remember this when you argue for small government, you don't get to pick and choose which bits shrink.

University of Sussex biology professor Dave Goulson "has estimated that a single teaspoon of thiamethoxam—one of three neonicotinoids produced by Bayer, the German biotech corporation that merged with agrochemical giant Monsanto in 2018—is toxic enough to wipe out 1.25 billion bees"
