But aren't they both sprayed on oranges?
I call that "airborne".

The moderators never speak in their own defense,
but messages are not "shredded" for their fringe
viewpoints, but instead, are shredded for their
less-than-polite wording or tone.

No one is "defending" neonics, it is rationality
itself that is being defended.

Then perhaps you can answer my question. Why have none
of the French researchers been able to see any improvement
in hive losses since the bans of the pesticides blamed
for causing the losses? Why do French beekeepers engage
in misdirection by talking about honey crop size?
I'll tell you - they made a big fuss, got a lot of
attention, and now don't want to admit that they were
wrong. If they had compelling data, they'd be waving
it around, wouldn't they?
