Hi Paul & All, July 25
Have you read these two fairly recent reports ?
PASTED FROM A JUNE 26 E-MAIL.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Dear All,
Questions about Neonicatinoids & Fibronil came up recently just before I
became aware of recent reports.

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.
The above coupled with-
http://qz.com/107970/scientists-discover-whats-killing-the-bees-and-its-worse-than-you-thought/
show that use of pesticides should be governed by restraint
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.
