Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers File Class-Action Lawsuit Against Pesticide Manufacturers
On September 4th, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers have LAUNCHED A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT against two manufacturers of Neonicotinoid Insecticides, Syngenta AG and Bayer CropScience.
They are FALSELY ALLEGING that these insecticide, used in the Agriculture Industry, are the cause of wide-spread bee deaths [ WRONG ! ] that have driven up costs and reduced honey production.
Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers also FALSELY ALLEGE that the manufacturers were SOMEHOW NEGLIGENT.
NONE OF THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE BEEN PROVEN !
The lawsuit SEEKS AN UNJUSTIFIABLE 450 MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES.
The LEAD PLAINTIFFS in the suit are Sun Parlor Honey Ltd. and Munro Honey.
Their lawyers plan to seek Canada-wide certification for the Class-Action Lawsuit, which can take more than a year.

NORAHG RESPONDS TO LITIGIOUS BEE-KEEPERS & THEIR CLASS-ACTION IN ONTARIO ― THE LAWSUIT WILL FAIL BECAUSE BEE-KEEPERS ARE NEGLIGENT AND INCOMPETENT !
AN ILL-FATED CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT has been filed by lawyers representing Anti-Pesticide and Litigious Bee-Keepers to RECOVER ALLEGED DAMAGES suffered due to Neonicotinoid Insecticides used by the Agriculture Industry since 2006.
Observers PREDICT that the Litigious Bee-Keepers will LOSE THE LAWSUIT, and WILL NOT RECOVER ANY LOSSES AND DAMAGES.
The Lawsuit will FAIL TO PROVE that ONLY Neonicotinoid Insecticides were to blame for their bee losses.
According to LEADING EXPERT Dr Ernesto Guzman, neonicotinoid poisoning is, of course, a factor, but IT IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR.
The Bee-Keeper Lawsuit will be UNABLE TO AVOID THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS caused by Neonicotinoid Insecticides, since only a VERY LIMITED NUMBER of Bee-Keepers have actually reported losses. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2BA
The Lawsuit will FAIL TO PROVE that Bee-Keepers were NOT NEGLIGENT and NOT INCOMPETENT with their management practices.
It will FAIL TO PROVE that they PERFORMED DUE DILIGENCE to control VARROA MITES, NOSEMA FUNGUS, TOBACCO RINGSPOT VIRUS, and other PESTS THAT DAMAGE BEES.
The real causes of bee mortality are these pests that Bee-Keepers appear to be UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PROPERLY CONTROL. http://wp.me/p1jq40-7sq http://wp.me/p1jq40-8de
They would rather LAY FALSE BLAME against Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
The Bee-Keeper Lawsuit will FAIL TO PROVE that there is even a BEE CRISIS with Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
THERE IS NO SUCH BEE CRISIS according to LEADING EXPERTS like DR ERNESTO GUZMAN, who has stated that there is evidence that VARROA MITES ARE THE PRIMARY PROBLEM ASSOCIATED TO BEE LOSSES in Southern Ontario, and Neonicotinoid Insecticides have been associated to ONLY SOME ISOLATED CASES of colony losses. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6WJ
According to another LEADING EXPERT, DR CYNTHIA SCOTT-DUPREE, doses of Neonicotinoid Insecticides that bees receive in laboratory studies ARE FAR ABOVE WHAT A REALISTIC FIELD DOSE EXPOSURE WOULD BE.
Additionally, Dr Scott-Dupree helped coordinate a field study that compared hives exposed to Neonicotinoid Insecticides to those that were NOT exposed, and FOUND NO DIFFERENCE IN COLONY HEALTH between the two groups. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6H8
The Bee-Keeper Lawsuit will even FAIL TO PROVE that there is ANY BEE CRISIS AT ALL.
THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS according to Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who has stated that many bee-keeping operations have NOT been affected and have been able to maintain strong and healthy bee colonies, as evidenced by hive strength and honey production. http://tinyurl.com/ndavhaa
THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS according to Statistics Canada, which has stated that the number of honey bee colonies are UP, and NOT DOWN, in the province of Ontario and across Canada. ( See table below. ) http://wp.me/p1jq40-7sq
The Bee-Keeper Lawsuit will be UNABLE TO EXPLAIN that the Canadian Honeybee Industry is actually THRIVING, with the total number of Bee-Keepers in Canada actually RISING DRAMATICALLY since 2008. http://wp.me/p1jq40-8de
The Lawsuit will be UNABLE TO EXPLAIN that CANADA’S HONEY YIELD IS TWICE THE WORLD’S AVERAGE. http://wp.me/s1jq40-28297
It will be UNABLE TO EXPLAIN why Canadian Honey Council ACTIVELY OPPOSES PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. http://wp.me/p1jq40-7sq http://tinyurl.com/pe3ujsj
The Bee-Keeper Lawsuit will BE UNABLE TO CONTRADICT THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS caused by Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
The Lawsuit will FAIL TO PROVE THAT BEE-KEEPERS DID NOT TAMPER WITH THE SAMPLES PROVIDED TO HEALTH CANADA which measured some detectable insecticide ingredient.
It will also FAIL TO PROVE that the mere ability to measure or detect the presence of insecticide ingredient in a bee colony is NOT AN INDICATION THAT IT HARMED BEES.
The Lawsuit will also FAIL TO EXPLAIN why Bee-Keepers are VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW by using ILLEGAL AND UNREGISTERED PRODUCTS to control bee pests. http://wp.me/p1jq40-70c
Observers have consistently pointed out to how much PROFIT the Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers will make if they succeed in a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT.
They appear MOTIVATED BY MERE PROFIT AND GREED.
Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers are merely striving to UNJUSTIFIABLY PROFIT from this CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, in a manner similar to the UNJUSTIFIABLE COMPENSATION they received from the Government of Ontario in 2014. http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-7VI
THERE IS NO BEE CRISIS with Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and THE LAWSUIT WILL FAIL !
However, there IS a BEE CRISIS with NEGLIGENT AND INCOMPETENT Bee-Keepers.
Even if the Class-Action Lawsuit is somehow successful, WE WOULD STILL HAVE BEE LOSSES because MANY BEE-KEEPERS ARE NOT COMPETENT TO MANAGE THEIR HIVES.
Let the Anti-Pesticide and Litigious Bee-Keepers FACE THE SPOTLIGHT OF SCRUTINY and THE TERROR OF THE COURTS.

Background Information From An Independent Perspective
The Bee-Keeper Industry ― Here Is What Is Known
Here is a summary of what is known about the Bee-Keeper Industry ―
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are the LEAST CREDIBLE and the LEAST QUALIFIED to provide any advice concerning Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and therefore, CANNOT BE TRUSTED
|
―
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is the FAULT of Bee-Keepers and their MIS-MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers all over North America are LYING and CHEATING by using ILLEGAL and UNREGISTERED pest control products, like AMITRAZ
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers appear to be UNABLE or UNWILLING to get their major pest problems under control, such as VARROA MITES, leading observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers ARE HARMING BEES, and may NOT BE COMPETENT to handle their businesses, and may be WHOLLY UNSUITED to be raising bees
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are blaming insecticides as a PLOY TO DISTRACT the public and Government Officials from the REAL PROBLEMS OF BEE-KEEPERS, such as BOTULISM, a paralytic illness that CAN BE FATAL and CAN KILL INFANTS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are CONTINUOUSLY STEALING from other Bee-Keepers, and have essentially been described as a mere bunch of THIEVING RUSTLERS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are conveniently overlooking the fact that coated corn seed renders insecticides INACCESSIBLE and HARMLESS to bees
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers ARE HARMING BEES, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are ILLEGALLY USING PRODUCTS LIKE AMITRAZ which is known to cause CANCER, and is known to KILL people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers are WRONG about Neonicotinoid Insecticides since the weight of the scientific evidence clearly shows that they CAUSE NO HARM TO BEES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers avoid admitting that agricultural FUGITIVE DUST may be ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL POSSIBLE ROUTES OF BEE EXPOSURE to pest control products
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers fail to admit that there are only A VERY LIMITED NUMBER of reported losses, LESS THAN 1 PER CENT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers have been told that bee deaths are NOT LINKED to any specific pest control product
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, leading some observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT TO RAISE BEES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS
|
―
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers produce THE ONLY KNOWN FOOD PRODUCT that has been proven to be LINKED TO INFANT BOTULISM AND DEATH
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keeper Trade Associations too often operate as mere PROPAGANDA SHIELD organizations for Sierra Club ― AN ALLIANCE WITH A MINDLESS ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bee-Keepers use ILLEGAL, UNREGISTERED, DEADLY, and CANCER-CAUSING products, like AMITRAZ, and thus, Bee-Keepers are producing potentially DANGEROUS HONEY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Bee-Keepers are CAPABLE OF LYING AND CHEATING AND STEALING AS BEE RUSTLERS, then they are also capable of LYING AND CHEATING with their public statements against insecticides
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VARROA MITES are the primary problem associated with bee mortality, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides

Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by LUNATICS who ARBITRARILY AND RECKLESSLY IMPOSE PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, and who PERPETRATE OTHER ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide and Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by LUNATICS.
A LUNATIC is a person whose actions and manner are marked by extreme recklessness.
The RECKLESS ACTS OF SUBVERSION by these LUNATICS has led to the ARBITRARY IMPOSITION of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION in several jurisdictions throughout North America.
The result was CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE !
Because of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION, provinces like Ontario now have a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, a MORE DANGEROUS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, and a BLACK MARKET IN PESTICIDES.
Only TRUE LUNATICS would wish to create a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.
Because of these LUNATICS, we are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from so-called activists ( a.k.a. LUNATICS ) who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space and other industries, and the well-being of our communities.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to LUNATICS and their Anti Pesticide PROHIBITIONS, resulting in the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT CONCOCTED BY LUNATICS of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON-PROFIT NON-PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG busts the THE MYTHS ABOUT BANNING PESTICIDES.
NORAHG responds on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of THE PUBLIC THAT DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORT those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry, the Golf Industry, and the Agriculture Industry.
NORAHG is opposed to PESTICIDE FREE jurisdictions where LUNATICS have DOOMED CHILDREN to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.

ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION DESTROYED GREEN SPACES

NORAHG is concerned that, because of PESTICIDE FREE MAINTENANCE of parks and sports fields, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SUFFERING INJURIES with DANGEROUS PLAYING SURFACES CREATED BY #@!!% PESTICIDE BANS.
NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone FORCE OF NATURE Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.
Pesticide Truths and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
