Here is a link to a 2006 publication titled How to Reduce Bee Poisoning from Pesticides. 

http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/abstract.php?seriesno=PNW+591

note you can view the entire publication online first before purchasing. I purchased this last spring 
and gave copies to land owners where I keep bees and also the few orchards I pollinate in spring and 
they all seemed appreciative and concerned.  

Also question to Jerry B- you referred to the "PSU chemical report" in your post. Is this available to 
the list? I did a quick search and found nothing online. I think many beekeepers would like to know 
what's in that report. We mostly hear the occasional enlightening update on CCD from people like 
you. The rest is left to our imaginations and scuttlebutt.
