The bees' precipitous decline in numbers---a startling 50% over the past 25 years---is telling us something, loud and clear. It is to be hoped that we will listen to this message! http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/mar/29/crop-pesticides-honeybee-decline?intcmp=122
Update: Pharmaceutical Propaganda! Perhaps Bayer could stage an encounter between bees and their product to prove how 'safe' it is. Better yet, use company officials as test subjects. Time for an investigation into this situation, with research that is NOT performed by the state. Guess the European Union must be deluded, eh? Guess they are banning this substance just for fun. Hope that the membership of the Ohio State Beekeepers Association turns out in swarms to this event. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/03/05/beekeepers-feel-stung-by-sponsor.html
