rather than drenching the fields year after year in glysophate and the use of titanium dioxide as a crop stimulant and neonicotinoid insecticides (ni)* (which kill bees via pollen) in farming.
*legislation was passed in 2024 allowing the use of ni on diseased sugar beet crops. a single teaspoon of neonicotinoid can kill 1.25 billion honeybees.
