Interesting, but little data to support it other than observations in
Cambodia and Java. And deals with misapplication being the cause in a
country that has no pesticide regs and no controls at all and allows the
use of banned pesticides. Interesting base on which to extrapolate
figures. Not very good science.

Could find no mention of bees in the article.
