>Unless you are contending that the indiscriminate spraying of organophosphates and pyrethrenoids was somehow less damaging to bumblebees and solitary bees than the neonics that replaced them?

We did not have indiscriminate spraying - that would be a criminal offence here in the UK.  Each of our associations has a spray liaison officer and farmers make contact before spraying if there might be a problem.  It all worked well - in 30+ years of beekeeping I have only had one spray incident.

Best wishes
