About 250,000 bees have perished in the southern New South Wales town of Corowa after coming in contact with a controversial pesticide. The bees were found dead in three hives in separate parts of the town last month. NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) testing found the bees were poisoned by fipronil, a chemical used to control ants, cockroaches, fleas and other insects. Alex McGillvray said he was devastated to find that his bees had been "wiped out".
