America needs to wake up. You can't legislate away a problem without
*enforcement*. Look at our southern border.

There is NO danger to the applicator when properly protected.

Without enforcement you will find unskilled labor taking health risks.
legislation without enforcement will not solve the problem. Never has and
never will!

What Bayer considers dangerous and what the rest of us consider dangerous
are two different things.

What Bayer considers a safe IMID level for bees and what many beekeepers
feel is safe for bees is two different things.

I thought the list was to learn. When you enter a subject where I have
obvious more experience on the subject then people need to at least listen.
Temik is such an area.

Properly used with a proper label and temik could have a place in the
pesticide arsenal. The problem with temik *in my opinion* goes back to the
EPA & the Bayer label.
