Aerial spraying of insecticide to combat the spread of the Zika virus in South Carolina has resulted in the deaths of millions of bees, according to local reports.
Dorchester County officials announced on Aug. 26 that they would be spraying parts of the county with naled, an insecticide that kills mosquitoes on contact, after the Department of Health and Environmental Control reported four cases of Zika virus two days prior.
The insecticide has the same deadly effect on bees.
