The following is not directly related to nature in Nova Scotia, but
might be some day. Apologies if this is seen to be going too far beyond
the NatureNS culture.
I see in the news that the European Union is banning all neonicotinoids,
a class of insecticide shown to pose a serious danger to bees. If you
are interested in reading about this, there are lots of stories
available on the web, for example on the BBC
<http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-43910536>, The Guardian
<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/27/eu-agrees-total-ban-on-bee-harming-pesticides>,
and Science
<http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/european-union-expands-ban-three-neonicotinoid-pesticides>.
Might a ban happen in North America sometime? Might Nova Scotia see the
end of neonics?
