...seems a rather absurd response.

Dr. Fischer is claiming that no one has shown a correlation between neonic exposure and CCD (which I believe to be the case).

The author responds with:
"I don’t think you’ve proved your assertion that neonicotinoids are not a factor in CCD. Indeed, the majority of the papers you cite (a small subset of the relevant research) don’t definitively dismiss neonicotinoids as blameless as a factor in CCD."

...in the (admitted) absence of correlating data, the author cries foul because the negative hasn't been proven.....have their been any studies dismissing Forbes and their staff from responsibility for CCD?
