It seems that "systemic pesticides" and "neonicotinoid" are words that keep cropping up lately. Until they come up with truly self-pollinating plants, that's just got to be a bad idea.

Allowing trials to be performed by the companies who are making the pesticides is crazy. Medical papers require any authors to publish any predisposition for the outcome. It is ludicrous to think that a company making pesticides won't try to build a study to get the answer they want.

And only testing for whether a chemical is lethal to bees, not what sub-lethal doses do just doesn't give a real world perspective.

Thanks Randy for sharing this...just more bad new for the week, but finally bringing light to one of the biggest causes for bees deaths and poor health. If I understand it correctly, europe and a few other countries have already banned this a few years ago....hope we catch up soon!

thanks for the info.

Folks,

The bees here have been going crazy with pollen everyday the pile
up at the entrance. Not seen any local maple in bloom, it must be
here somewhere.

Here is another article for you about the EPA and the honey bee,
ouch.. I think we need to petition the EPA about these issues.
