Report  sez?
 
So, did you read what Peter provided?  Colonies suffering pesticide  damage 
in Canada, 3855 total, 402 neonic.
 
So, 89.55% of the colonies were NOT neonic.  10.45% were.
 
In other words, 90% of the damage reports were from the pesticides that the 
 'ban' the neonic group want us to return to.  Sorry, all corn in US (and  
I'd guess specific regions of Canada) is planted in about a 10 day to  two 
week period in US - time of RISK of exposure from dust.  I'll play that  game 
any day to avoid being in the 10% group (stay away from corn during those  
10 days).
 
Our work in IL, IN, and NE - we had a couple of colonies severely damaged  
during our trials, not from neonic but from spray applied by boom system on  
tractor.
