Seems to me to be another one of those: "guilty until proven innocent"
type articles.  Example: the author writes:

"the link between bee declines and neonicotinoids is far from clear" 
then later she goes on to say:

"There is no doubt that the proposed restriction on the use 
of these neonicotinoids on nectar-and pollen-rich crops 
such as oilseed rape will reduce a potentially serious risk 
to bees. It seems a crucial step towards reversing or 
halting observed declines in bees and other flower-feeders."
