I did some background research on Imidacloprid and here are the trade names sold in the US

Used in seed treatments: 

Akteur®, Amigo®, Baytan® Secur, Chinook®, El Hombre®, Escocet®, Gaucho®, Gaucho® Blé, 
Gaucho® CS, Gaucho® Maícero, Gaucho® MZ, Gaucho® Orge, Gaucho® Primo, Gaucho® T, 
Gaucho® MT, Gaucho® XT, Genesis®, Faibel®, Ferial® Blé, Férial® Orge, Imprimo®, Manta® Plus, 
Monceren® Extra, Monceren® G, Monceren® GT, Montur®, Prestige®, Prestige® M, Raxil® 
Secur®, Seed-one®, Sibutol® Secur, Yunta®, Zorro®FS 236,3


Used on Citrus, coffee, cotton, fruits, grapes, potatoes, rice, soybeans, sugarcane, tobacco and 
vegetables as a insecticde spray:

Admire®, Confidor®, Connect®, Evidence®, Leverage®, Muralla®, Provado®, Trimax®

I did some calling around in Mn to the 3 main Ag Chem distrubtors and no one has heard of these, 
or sells them. 

I'd be curious what other beekeepers know about Imidacloprid use in their area. Especially with the 
fact that there is no real CCD reports around here and no Imidacloprid use apperently either.
