Randy,

"Are you speaking of the bees, or of those insects that we consider as
"pests"?  Honey bees will intentionally seek out a caffeine or nicotine
buzz, and may very well do the same with a low dose of neonics.  However,
due to their short lifespan, the concept of the consequences of addiction
would be different than that of humans."

I am asking how the science experts on neonics and insects (those that understand the physiology of neonics and the adaptation abilities of insects) think that the predicted, eventual mechanism for neonic resistance will work.
