Hi For a view on some views on neonicotinoids and other issues relating to bee health (all bees and pollinators, not just honeybees) please see: http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/environmental-audit-committee/publications1/ It is the 2 volumes of the 7th Report that are relevant to this subject. This Committee exists to keep an eye on the Government Department responsible for (among many other things) bee health.
