Thank you Ari.  the point of this whole matter is that what if indeed, as
the EPA feels, the neonics are more environmentally friendly than the
insecticides that they have replaced?  By calling for a ban on them, based
upon erroneous evidence, the anti-neonic activists may cause more
environmental and bee damage.

Can you please give me the exact citation for the French study in which
spiked syrup was fed for an entire year?
