Less chemicals means less wildlife lost. Without the bees there is less pollination. Less fruit and vegetables to eat.

Pesticides Linked to Honeybee Deaths Pose More Risks, European Group Says
The finding could have repercussions on both sides of the Atlantic for the companies that produce the chemicals, which are already banned in Europe.

Alan K. - I read all of the cited articles. Most were based in very small numbers of beehives in one very small area - or laboratory studies where bees were exposed to fat more pesticide than ever used in the fields. None dealt with the colony disruption that results from annual shipment of 2/3 of beehives to visit and support California agriculture. None even mentioned the consistent worldwide increase in bee colony numbers. I think it is very important to critically review sources of data - and not just believe the conclusion. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT (Anonymous) - Like I said I only cited the first few, there are hundreds from very reputable publications....search away! So I backtracked and used "Bee deaths linked to pesticides" on google search and came up with 229,000 results ...
