It all gets back to the biggest petri dish in the world- the canola fields
of Canada. Show harm there.

All the other studies are just that, studies and seem not to reflect the
reality of what is happening in the real world. I will gladly become a true
believer if facts are presented, not studies that fly in the face of what
is really happening.

As noted many times before, I have a friend who has bees right by a treated
corn field and has zero problems. Randy's polls also seem to re-enforce the
fact that there is a large disconnect between what is happening in the
field and what some studies show.

Why apply a precautionary principle when there is a major difference
between lab work and reality? That is terminally stupid.

I do look forward to seeing the complete recovery of EU bees with the ban.
I also anticipate that any non-recovery will be explained away as was done
in France.
