Aimed at Zika Mosquitoes, Spray Kills Millions of Honeybees
The Monday morning scene at Juanita Stanley's apiary in Summerville, S.C., was ghastly and stunningly quiet: Everywhere one looked were clumps of honeybees, dead after a dousing on Sunday with the potent pesticide with which the local authorities had intended to kill mosquitoes.

Gosh darn it, why does it feel like whenever we try to fix something we break something else?
As a friend of mine quoted on twitter:
I guess that's true.
But I mean, our best innovations have had bad effects.
Vaccination has led to the creation of unstoppable super-bugs. Cities have led to easier transmission of diseases and the causes of epidemics. Fire, arguably the most useful force in building civilizations, has resulted in a lot of death and destruction.
But, all those things did do a lot of good and improved billions of lives. But was it worth it?
I thought using antibiotics everywhere is what led to the superbugs?
Maybe it was that, I'm no scientist :P.
haha, okay :)
