I understand malathion kills honey bees? (which is a bad thing.) The
county used to spray for mosquitoes several times a summer but were
using malathion. I haven't seen a honey bee in a long time - is that
the cause?



There's been a lot in the ag news about some sort of mite that's been
killing off whole hives of European honey bees, the kind we've had in
the USA for over 200 years. I don't think anyone still uses malathion to
kill mosquitoes nowadays.
