I would like to see where that was EVER said by anyone here. All I have said is that there is no clear evidence of it in the field and plenty of evidence to the contrary. All insecticides have the potential to be devastating to bees and native insects. This is always foremost on the minds of everyone that I know. I am a lot more concerned about chlorpyrifos  and chlorothalonil and the possible interaction between them and with in-hive chems.
