‘Nicotine Bees’ Documentary Explains Colony Collapse
Posted by: --- Posted date: May 17, 2010 

It’s been three years since SafeLawns first published its conclusion that Colony Collapse Disorder in bees was linked to a chemical pesticide known as imidacloprid. The deduction, as one beekeeper states in the movie ‘Nicotine Bees,” is so simple “a fifth grader can figure it out.” Of course, the American government still claims not to know why bees are disappearing at increasingly frightening rates each year.

Almost ten years since Hackenberg went public with his losses, the bees did not all disappear. Why not? So simple a fifth grader can figure it out.
