Local news story on a (suspected) pesticide kill:
http://www.whiotv.com/news/news/local/tipp-city-bee-keeper-has-thousands-dead-bees/nMdRP/
Got me wondering (and I searched the archives with no results), are there any US labs where beekeepers can send samples of suspected pesticide kills to determine if and what agent the bees were exposed to? ARS Beltsville specifically states they test only for disease/parasites, not for pesticides.
