>>...one bee, a single, solitary bee, had 25 different insecticides 
hidden within her tiny body. And she wasn’t even dead. The cleanest bee they found had only five insecticides. Only.

This is rather telling.  Bees aside, I wonder if they checked the honey from these hives for insecticides... Anyone know?  It's one thing if the bees are getting saturated with insecticides, it's another if the chemicals are ending up in the honey for human consumption.
