-(Natural News) Neonicotinoids, better known as neonics, are a class of insecticides with a chemical structure that resembles nicotine – a nitrogen-containing compound present in tobacco plants. Farmers across the United States use pesticides with neonics to protect their crops from pests. But experts find that the use of neonics has disastrous consequences for food production for humans.

-(Natural News) Honey bees in Nebraska have been dropping dead due to an ethanol plant that generates enormous heaps of smelly waste containing unsafe levels of pesticides. AltEn, a recycling plant based in the town of Mead, has been using pesticide-coated grains to produce ethanol, a chemical used to make biofuel. As a result, the company has been churning out […]

-(Natural News) Migration is important in the life of birds. It lets them find good food, a good mate and a good nesting site. Should migration be stalled, birds risk missing all of these benefits that, more often than not, could mean life or death. In a recent breakthrough, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) in […]

-(Natural News) Bees are in danger — there’s little doubt about that. Experts are saying that the dramatic decline in honeybee populations in the United States is unsustainable. Responsible for producing $20 billion in crops across the U.S. alone, honeybees are an essential part of the agricultural industry (and the food chain). But, Big Ag […]

-(Natural News) A team of animal behavior biologists from Harvard University has tracked the exact way neonicotinoids, the world’s most commonly used insecticide, affect the behavior of bees. Their study, published in Science, highlights the dangers of using this class of neuro-active chemicals, especially as they appear to have insidious effects on vital pollinators. Using […]

-(Natural News) Neonicotinoid pesticides are destroying wildlife around the world, but proponents claim that they are useful for increasing agricultural production. Of course, losing the planet’s most important pollinators is going to have an even bigger effect on the food supply and human life in the long run, and now there’s another very convincing argument […]

-(Natural News) It’s quite simple: About 87 percent of all flowering plants are pollinated by animals, and this includes 70 percent of the planet’s most produced food crops. Bees alone are responsible for pollinating one in every three bites of food we eat. Without pollinators like bees, birds and bats, we would be faced with […]

-(Natural News) Neonicotinoid pesticides are harming more than just honeybees. Research findings have revealed that wild turkeys are inadvertently consuming seeds coated with the pesticides. Wild turkeys have levels of neonicotinoids in their livers The study, which involved researchers from the University of Guelph in Guelph, Canada, showed that aside from non-pest creatures like honeybees, other animals are coming […]

-(Natural News) For truth news seekers and Constitutionalists, Trump couldn’t be a better POTUS, but for protecting the environment, clean food, and the animals responsible for 75 percent of all U.S. food, he’s falling short – or so the fake news media would have us all believe. Limited farming for the purposes of wildlife food […]
