Has anybody else beeing hearing about this? Suddenly becoming an issue and starting to hit the fan.
The coles notes version is there appears to be a direct relation between the advent of DEF fluid about 7 or 8 years ago and the sudden decline of Bee's about 5 years ago. Supposedly one the the chemicals in DEF fluid causes bee's to loose their sense of smell and they can no long find flowers because of it? Im no rhodes scholar and somebody can do a much better job of explaining it, but it sounds like this might be legit and a possible reason for all of us to be able to stop using the stuff.
