After Malathion spraying in Los Angeles about 25 years ago, bee and butterflies virtually disappeared. They’ve both made comebacks in recent years, but their levels of abundance are still very low, and I’m wondering if they’ll ever make it back.
That is some dangerous stuff. On the farm were I use to work, the men were damn careful when working with it. You didn't even go into the field until 24 hours after it was sprayed.
