Pesticides and Bee's Honey

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/much-worlds-honey-now-contains-pesticides-harm-bees?mode=topic&context=60



Pesticides are turning up in honey everywhere which is not good for humans consuming the honey. The pesticides infesting the honey include nicotine-derived pesticides. When the honey was tested in a study, three out of the four honeys contained at least some measurable level of neonicotinoids in them. The contaminated crops are infesting the world not just certain regions said a recent study. At least 87 percent of commonly tested crops contain neonicotinoids in them. This can destroy a lot of valuable crops. Pesticides have been around since 1990's

 This is not good for the environment or the economy for some farmers. This can kill some of their crops which is their main source of income. A lot of farmers use their farms as a their food source too. The problem of pesticides needs to resolved so not as many crops are infested. The killing of crops is not good for the earth. This needs to be fixed for farmers.

    I wonder if we've all been secretly becoming addicted to nicotine from our honey?

    How do the pesticides get from the honey to the crops are from the crops to the honey?

    Why is nicotine a part of pesticides anyway?

    I never would have thought that pesticides would be in the honey. I wonder how many of us have consumed honey with the nicotine and pesticide in it? That makes me now question when I buy honey.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
