>>>  Ontario report:    Preliminary residue results show that   insecticides used to treat corn seed were detected in approximately 70% of  the  dead bee samples analyzed.   ...doesn't say anything about the levels  at  all, ....

Don't you think the way they reported was significant?  Don't you think they would have been shouting to the skies if any appreciable level of contamination had been detected?  The report would seem to be aimed at raising the blood pressure of it's readership and the way it's reported seems designed to use whatever evidence is available to do that.   Just a thought.
