Because many times on this list, and many times in the literature, the point
has been made that context matters.  Neonics are lethal with fungicides.
Neonics are lethal over time (lowered productivity).  Neonics are lethal
because they target the insect nervous system, AND HONEYBEES ARE INSECTS.


Yes,  context does matter!,  and a huge part of that context is exposure.
Therein lies much of the problem with the anti neonics crowd.


All the above statements are also true with pesticides with a much worse
exposure window.

Neonics are also shown to be processed and not accumulated in several
studies.

Context matters.
