Hello Ghislain & All,

Eventually the U.S. may wake up and protest what many of these chemicals are 
doing to us and our environment.

I worry for beekeeping but the more I research some of these chemicals I 
worry like Yoon for the environment and the world we will be leaving the 
next generation..

Do we really need untested and stronger pesticides coming on the market 
monthly?

I can not tell you how many farmers and growers i have spoke with which do 
not have a clue what the neonicotinoids are. Many think that the little 
label on the seed bag which says "pesticide treated seed" means the seed has 
been treated to protect the seed while in the bags.

 Temik banned in Europe in 2003. Still in use in all parts of the U.S..

Could aldicarb be in your morning glass of orange juice? I do not know but I 
was told in January the industry is not testing for aldicarb in OJ on a 
regular basis.

You never find a problem unless you look for the problem.
