Spring without Bees : How Colony Collapse Disorder Has Endangered Our Food Supply Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

More than a century after the birth of Rachel Carson, the world faces a new environmental disaster, from a chemical similar to DDT.

This time the culprit appears to be IMD, or imidacloprid, a relatively new but widely used insecticide in the United States.

Many beekeepers and researchers blame IMD for Colony Collapse Disorder, which has wiped out 23% of America's beehives.

Since honeybees are essential to the production of major food crops, their demise could spell catastrophe.

In a riveting detective story that melds science and politics, Michael Schacker examines the evidence and offers a plan to save the bees.

Like An Inconvenient Truth and Silent Spring before it, A Spring without Bees is a compelling cautionary tale and a clarion call for action.
