I should hope that you don't drop out of these discussions Bob.  Unlike
you, many of us have not "made up our minds."  We are still trying to
figure out exactly what factors are causing increased colony mortality.  If
the evidence against the neonics was anything other than suggestive, we
would not be debating the facts.

I'm as interested as anyone in finding out the truth of the matter.  But we
will never get there by only looking solely at observations and research
that confirm one's prejudices.  We must look at all research and field
observations, and satisfactorily answer questions such as why bees appear
to thrive year after year on treated canola.
