Just got my Project Aphis report. Very interesting...... As long as they didn't make a mistake.
I live in south central IL, surounded by corn and beans, We sampled hives right after been bloom (in sept) and 4 weeks after corn tassel. The hives themselves were all 3-4 year old hives.
Apperently zero pesticides were found.... none.......
If thats correct then the alarmist on seed coatings are really wrong.....
I did send them an email to try to confirm no one left out a page. The way they set up the report is just plain wrong. the tables are not labeled, and they say "if you don't have table 1 they none were found" not a good way to report data.
