Hi Lance & All,                                Aug 14, 2013
    This was the same study that I pointed out Aug 1 but in short =
vernacular form.

    By way of clarification, note that vanEngelsdorp was the junior =
author of 6 not the senior author {bold font not my idea Outlook Express =
has gone haywire again},=20

    Haywire suddenly cured; "That which is far off and exceeding deep =
who can find it out ?"

    Also Neonicotinoids were minor players in this paper being present =
only in apple pollen.and had beneficial effects-- From the paper-- "The =
carbamate (carbaryl), all neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, imidacloprid and =
thiacloprid), organophosphates (coumaphos, diazinon and phosmet) and the =
oxadiazine (indoxacarb) were associated with reduced risk of Nosema =
infection"  PLEASE NOTE; REDUCED RISK.

    Content tends to become damaged in transmission.=20

    Curiously, much of the pesticide contamination in pollen was from =
non-target off-site weed plants as opposed to sprayed crop plants.

  Hi David and others,

  =20

  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:

  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 federal regulations limit the use of insecticides during the =
time periods when pollinating insects are foraging, "but there are no =
such restrictions on fungicides, 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,
