But that is the entire issue- what is the neonic dose that bees get in the
field that causes problems. The RFID study did exactly that. They tracked
individual bees. The Harvard study did not. Without that data, you really
cannot determine if there is a problem. It is good science.

There are many experiments with individual bees to show the effects of
different substances. Many have been posted and discussed on this list.
Remember the French studies where Imid. was fed to individual bees. That
one got a lot of discussion.
