Steve,  (and all)   With all due respect,  that’s the wrong question.   Neonics, and any other pesticide, and many other chemicals used daily are bad for bees.   Really bad.

The real question is what is the real exposure levels of Neonics??  And I would add personally compared to the alternatives??   THAT is the only real question that matters.  All this testing in the lab like Lu's is pure noise.     I would certainly concede ongoing work an what levels were actually seeing, and how those levels effect long term is certainly good work. With the caveat that it needs to be compared to the options.
