The case pointed out by Jonathon Getty's posting and link highlights exactly 
the concern underlying this debate, that being... can we trust the business 
ethics or research conducted by the major companies putting agrichemicals 
into the marketplace? After all, Dow must have(or should have) known about 
the potential for this problem before the product went to market. It may not 
be fair but it paints them all with the same brush.

Despite all the research supporting the safety of todays neonics with 
respect to bees, which has been discussed here, I am still doubtful. There 
is more to this problem than we yet understand. I know that the 
circumstantial evidence is not enough to convict, but there are just too 
many adverse experiences in too many places from too many experienced 
operators to ignore.
