How can we tell if there is difference to the bee health for banning seed treatments? 

 There is no ban. Neonics continue to be used quite legally.
 Ban: to forbid people from using (something) : to say that something cannot be used or done. 

There has never been a ban, only restrictions for a very short period.

It is as if smoking were restricted except for social occasions and only for 2 years and we were to call that a Ban. Would this prove anything? Could anyone produce dependable conclusions from this 'experiment' ?

There is nothing to learn from a whitewash.
