    Uh think more along the lines of it causing the genocide of bees. Without bees for our food supply, ddt is gonna cost way more lives than it saved.

      Bees aren’t the only pollinators, by a long shot. And do you have some evidence that DDT was wiping them out in the first place? You A-OK with the pesticides were using now, that are actually killing off honey bees?

      LOL, no, you don’t. Because Varroa mites, introduced in the 90s, long after DDT, are what are killing our honey bees.
