POPSResearchers Closer To Solving Disappearing Bee Mystery Dennis Avery, director of the Center for Global Food Issues and senior fellow of the Hudson Institute said, "Of course, blaming pesticides has been the standard political tactic of the environmental movement since Rachel Carson wrongly blamed DDT for thinning the egg shells of eagles 40 years ago. "Again, the activists blamed before they knew the answer," Avery continued. "That's their tactic: Find a problem, blame it on something they want to get rid of, and put that perception into the public mind before anyone has time to do real science on the real problems. Bees play an integral role in the world food supply, providing pollination for 90 fruit and vegetable crops that in the United States alone generate $14 billion in annual revenue for U.S. farmers. The almond crop in California, for example, requires and cannot survive without bee pollination.
