Disappearing bees mystery: Boffins finger regicide pesticides

testing

Leaked internal reports by the Environmental Protection Agency showed that industry-run studies used to demonstrate some neonicotinoids’ environmental safety were shoddy and unreliable.

No surprise that the 'crop protection' industry looked after its own interests first.

25% of our crops use these pesticides. It's about time we did proper testing before use (IT angle!).

There have been problems with neonicotinoids for years, but in the UK we seem to do nothing.

Even the British Beekeepers Association has taken sponsorship money from Bayer the producer of these bee killing pesticides.
