\nMy thoughts on listing several species of bumblebee under The endangered species act.
\nCalifornia’s department of pesticide regulation cDPR does an amazing job of trying to regulate the huge amount of pesticides used in the state. Our national parks refuse to provide adequate pesticide use information (even just the names used and amounts) to our cDPR. The nps also refuses give this public information to me. And the nps is currently blocking my FOIA requests. Additionally, in California, the national parks are known to have approved 10 _tons_ of _bee_ killing, butterfly killing, frog killing pesticides in a single permit in just one of the few records I can find.
\nOur national parks in California use pesticides that are actually banned for use by our state. If we cannot even regulate pesticide use in our national parks and wilderness areas to save our native pollinators we must explore alternative ways of protecting them. We all know they are vital. When a bee or any of our endangered species are exposed to pesticides they cannot take a shower and wash the toxins off. They must groom the toxins off. They must lick. them. off. Contact studies are not adequate for determining toxicity. The pesticide industry’s ipm departments are not admitting to the “whole truth.”
\nLastly bumblebees and others are native species that have adapted to California’s unique environment in many fundamental ways. If we think that they can just be replaced down the road with a different type of pollinator we may be very, very wrong.
\nThank you very much for your time and I very much hope that we can fix some of the serious issues that are leading to dramatic declines in many of our wonderful and important native insects.
