>Are there any areas that don't have exposure?
Lots of beekeepers, such as myself, place our bees in wildlands with no
pesticide exposure. We still observe many of the same colony health
problems as do those in areas with pesticide exposure.
I'm NOT saying that some pesticides don't adversely affect colony
health--at a high enough concentration, most or all would. I'm simply
saying that pesticides certainly aren't responsible for all colony health
problems.
