As Julian Little, spokesman for Bayer Cropscience has stated in the past: http://tinyurl.com/7n86thg "All studies looking at the interaction of bees and pesticides must be done in a full field situation" The UC San Diego news story http://tinyurl.com/7vmslmj also misleads the public via stating: "Since 2006, beekeepers in North America and Europe have lost about one-third of their managed bee colonies each year due to "colony collapse disorder."
