EPA REPORT ON ONE NEONIC

The EPA has issued a report on one specific neonic pesticide which links the pesticide to honey bee declines.  However, to this point other than issuing the reeport they have not taken any further action.  An article summarizing the report can be found via the following link.

Don't think this will solve all your bee problems.  Varroa mites and the vectors (virus', etc.) they carry are probably a bigger issue.
