I have no experience with canola but common sense tells me its hard to
compare a corn plant to canola.

Soybeans, pumpkins, cotton, potatoes  etc. all use the neonics. Saying corn
is not a problem for bees based on canola is painting with  too broad a
brush.

Things have came a long way since the first concerns about the neonics.

Could the neonics be finding their way into HFCS?

 Nobody knows as nobody is testing.

Right?

Does the possibility exist?
