Dear All, =20
Questions about Neonicatinoids & Fibronil came up recently just =
before I became aware of recent reports.=20
http://www.environmentalleader.com/2014/06/25/clear-evidence-neonicotinoi=
ds-a-key-factor-in-bee-decline/
When there is this much smoke there must be some fire. The practice =
of coating seeds with a systemic insecticide, that so I understand =
renders all tissue of that plant toxic to insects, is in itself =
sufficient to set off my alarm bells.=20
The above coupled with-
http://qz.com/107970/scientists-discover-whats-killing-the-bees-and-its-w=
orse-than-you-thought/
show that use of pesticides should be governed by restraint.=20
As an aside, much of the pioneering research in Biological Control =
(AKA Integrated Pest Control) was carried out at Kentville largely with =
the objective, on principle, of using the least practicable quantity of =
pesticide.
