There was a little Halloween feel here at the State House,
with people dressed up as bumblebees to express their support
for a proposed bill that would restrict use of a
pesticide that kills bees. Among those here to testify and
supported the bill, as Joseph pappis, he's with environment Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Bees are dying around Massachusetts. We know that just this

beehives in Massachusetts died off this past year.

He points out that bees as pollinators are necessary for
the health of the environment and our food supply, but

phased out from the state House. Carl Stevens STUBBEDBC Boston's
