There is lots of data and information packed in the book, but descriptors and connectors are pretty lacking. I think the conclusion is correct that neonicotinoids are at the root of the problem, but Schacker's recommended fixes are poorly thought out. The most glaring problem is his high recommendation that everyone should plant Silver Lindens - "the Magic Bee Tree." Since he doesn't even bother to tell why the tree is so valuable, I had to do some online research. And the designation is faulty. Honey bees can tolerate some pollen, but it's toxic to bumblebees. That's it! Throw this one right in the trash! (  ) 2wonderY | Feb 5, 2014 | I'm also worried that the information is going to be out of date anyway since the book is four years old. I'm putting this one down and opting for fiction, which may sometimes feel dated but is never out-of-date. Maybe once I've had a fiction infusion, I'll pick this one up again.

From the Publisher: 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. Even trace amounts make bees unable to fly back to their hive. Since honeybees are essential to the production of most major food crops, their demise could spell catastrophe. In a riveting, scientific/political detective story, Michael Schacker examines the evidence and offers a plan to save the bees. Like An Inconvenient Truth and Silent Spring, A Spring without Bees is both a powerful cautionary tale and a call to action. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
