I thought it was widely accepted that the neonics were highly toxic to bees?
Says so right on the labels I have looked at.

I can't see what purpose proving the neonics are highly toxic to bees would
serve?

I can almost see those poor lab bees writhing in pain.  Maybe we should use
flies instead for neonic studies? What purpose is there for flies?

Flies will certainly ruin a picnic. I think we should use flies instead of 
bees.
