A group of commercial beekeepers has filed a petition to ask the EPA to regulate the use of a pesticide that has proved toxic to honey bees.

These chemicals kill certain insects but are supposed to leave the good ones (in this case bees) unharmed.

But what happened is the poison can lead to a weakened immune system in the bees, which could contribute to colony collapse disorder.

Colony collapse disorder is where all the adult honeybees in a colony suddenly die or disappear.

Other countries have already banned these types of insecticides.

A professor of entomology (bug doctor) said:

"The EPA admits that their testing has not been adequate to determine the impact of this chemical on bees and pollinators."

So maybe it's time for the EPA takes another look at the pesticides they allow to be used.

The bees are vital to over one-third of all of America's crops.

Save the bees!

Shark fin soup is a cruel dish made by catching sharks, cutting their fins off, then tossing them back into the sea.

So not only is this meal crazy cruel, it's also potentially really dangerous.

We're surprised the secret service let Obama get so close to shark fin soup.

Remember when we previously mentioned he got take out from a San Fran restaurant that still served shark fin soup?

Anyway, scientists analyzed shark fins from Florida and found

Australia has opened the fourth inquest into the over 30 year old "a dingo ate my baby" case.

If you're unfamiliar with the story, back in 1980, while camping in the outback, a 9-week-old baby disappeared.

Her parents said a dingo grabbed her and ran off during the night.

Azaria Chamberlain, the baby, was never found and her mother was eventually convicted then cleared of her murder.

The biggest question that still remains today… was it actually a dingo attack?

A lawyer assisting the coroner on the case said:

"Although it [a dingo killing a child] may have been regarded as unlikely in 1980… it shouldn't be by 2011-12.

With the additional evidence in my submission, your honor should accept on the balance of probabilities that the dingo theory is the correct one."

It's amazing that this case has basically been unsolved for several decades.

Lindy Chamberlain, Azaria's mother said:

"It gives me hope this time that Australians will finally be warned and realize that dingoes are a dangerous animal.

I also hope that this will give a final finding which closes the inquest into my daughter's death, which so far has been standing open and unfinished."

Let's hope this inquest is the last one and once and for all closes the case so the family can finally have some peace.
