The bees all died in sprayed areas

So starts my latest rant, and it goes like this. If we as a community allow our town , Borough, and state to spray all the wild bushes in our beautiful state we will have NO BEES. Most likely because the sprays contains nicotinic acid or a similar type that kills bees. In fact, if one bee comes into contact with nicotine, goes back to the hive, one bee can poison the whole hive, and kill it out of existence; which is why this is not my first letter to Sitnews about Bees, and why they aren't around anymore.

Well kids, the death of bees is directly related to bug sprays, and the fact that they contain nicotine which just happens to kill Bees and other bugs, which I have not found any less thereof.

Yours, in Bees and wild Honey,
