This topic has been discussed here at Bee-L for more than ten years. Check
the archives under "Gaucho". Studies have been done, no one has established
a link between neo-nics and large scale bee die-off except for a few
isolated cases, while the use of neo-nics has increased until they are
almost everywhere. If someone knows where the smoking gun is, they had
better produce it. Otherwise it all boils down to finger pointing.
