It was a few years ago wasps were noticeable by their absence .........now windscreens are clear of insects ......

I've noticed earthworms are in decline 10 years ago if it rained the lawn was covered in earthworms grass verges outside too........now hardly any.

When the bees die we die.......

Quite true I once had a yellow mini, the darn thing was a magnet for bugs, just like those yellow strips you hang in the green house!
Never bought a yellow car since!
Still I guess that as a biker these days at least you don't have to pick the flies out of your teeth so often.

75% reduction in flying insects I hear.

farmers & the use of chemicals has caused issues with bees . Plus the EU refused to ban a particular insectacide / chemical despite knowing it was causing harm.

Bloke involved in the research was talking about it on the radio a while back. EU's fault.

Companies like Monsanto selling glyphosate to stupid, broke and desperate farmers killing the soil life and everything that depends on it, including us. And nobody gives a sh1t. On top of this is the constant erosion of top soil as a result of chemical fertilisers and heavy machinery.

yes that brought about things like BSE where bye stupid farmers decided to feed vegitarian animals scrambled sheep brains & other meat products

or feed pigs with sewage pellets all with EU hand outs.

who ever thought of this caper should have been brought before the courts on a mass poisoning charge , attempted bodily harm , corperate man slaughter or what ever
