Interesting but has little to say about what will soon be published 
concerning imidacloprid.
Articles almost always are at least several months behind industry findings.

5 PPB ( parts per billion!) linked to bee mortality in developing pupae WILL 
soon soon to be released.

Which is actually old news to those of us following the research but 
certainly not good news for those which believe imidacloprid does not harm 
bees at the ALWAYS * acknowledged* by Bayer 5 PPB levels.

I am not always known for good manners in these matters ( and almost broke 
the story myself) but feel because the information has been approved for 
publication and being discussed in bee circles and has been out of the bag 
for quite a while should be considered for discussion if needed on BEE-L .

Despite Jim's coy nature the above has NOW been published in ABJ. In my 
opinion Jerry Hayes , myself and Jim have heard/seen the results soon to 
rock the bee world (and possible a chemical giants world).

I predicted several years ago that we would start proving problems from 
imidacloprid use to bees. The above is only the tip of the iceberg folks!

Time to start digging up some of those old BEE-L posts?
