"(1) it will be some silly thing we invented and do not know the true results of using it.
Such as the use of DDT for body lice years ago."
OK! it may be hard on the Eagles. What about the millions of children in third world countries who have died since the ban on spraying DDT for mosquito? A few countries have began using DDT again and malaria has gone way down saving many lives.
Where should our priority be, humans or birds?
Do you honestly want to be the last species standing? It's a system, we need the birds, and everything else for that matter. This isn't a "tree huger" talking either but if your willing to risk everything else just for the safety of humans, well that's a though world to live in.

Chemicals in the field and those we put into the hives probably factor in too.
I think we are going to see the end of "wild bees" though.
Also, becoming a Bee Keeper is pretty expensive these days.
