FYI, APVMA has released its overview report on bee health and the use of
neonics in Australia:
http://www.apvma.gov.au/news_media/chemicals/bee_and_neonicotinoids.php



Of note: "*On the basis of information available to it, the APVMA is
currently of the view that the introduction of the neonicotinoids has led
to an overall reduction in the risks to the agricultural environment from
the application of insecticides. This view is also balanced with the advice
that Australian honeybee populations are not in decline, despite the
increased use of this group of insecticides in agriculture and horticulture
since the mid-1990s*."
