A Quotation

The bit of good news, whereas almost all of our bee analyses from the 60-90s showed residues of DDT, DDE and other chlorinated  pesticides; the most recent analyses that we've gotten back show a much reduced,  if not complete absence, of many of the most persistent chlorinated chemicals – so it looks like we're finally getting some these out of the bee boxes/frames. That's good news.
