Of course it was--they paid for it!  What we as independently-thinking
beekeepers need to do is to try to sort out the truth of matters from the
claims of those at either end of the debate.  The important thing about
this report is that it helps us to put risk assessment into perspective.

I agree that this is a sad commentary, especially since any insecticide
used to this extent has only a limited expected useful life before the
pests become resistant to it.
