Hi Randy Ted and all
My thoughts are tending towards Ted's, although I think that there
are 4 groups:
Group # 1 - Neonics are not a problem for honeybees, other beneficial
insects, humans, other mammals and fish. (Paul seems to fit here)
Group # 2 - As above if used as seed treatments only (except when
there is dust problem during planting) and never used as a spray or
ground drench. (Randy seems to fit here)
Group # 3 - Keep bouncing back and forth depending on what they last
read. (I think that I fit here )
Group # 4 - All neonics are dangerous, as are GMOs, and should be
banned immediately (Europe seems to fit here)
