Hi David and others,
The recent research that Mary was referring to was conducted by University =
of Maryland researchers. It was just published in PLOS ONE and can be read =
in full at the following link:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0070182
A quote attributed to the study's senior author is telling:
"We don't think of fungicides as having a negative effect on bees, because =
they're not designed to kill insects," vanEngelsdorp stated. Current federa=
l regulations limit the use of insecticides during the time periods when po=
llinating insects are foraging, "but there are no such restrictions on fung=
icides, so you'll often see fungicide applications going on while bees are =
foraging on the crop. This finding suggests that we have to reconsider that=
policy."
All the best,
Lance
