There is a very interesting discussion of neonicotinoids (Imidacloprid
or Prescribe is one)in the May/June issue of Apiculture News, a
University of California, Davis newsletter , website is
http://entomology.ucdavis.edu/faculty/mussen/news.cfm. The discussion
there puts forth the theory that neonicotinoids such as Imidacloprid
cause neural damage to bees and they are unable to keep up their
functions such as finding their way back home, therefore causing a slow
decline of the hive.
