"The long-term risk to honey bee colonies in the field was investigated,
including the sensitive overwintering stage, from four years consecutive
single treatment crop exposures to flowering maize and oilseed rape grown
from thiamethoxam treated seeds at rates recommended for insect control.
Throughout the study, mortality, foraging behavior, colony strength, colony
weight, brood development and food storage levels were similar between
treatment and control colonies." 

Hmm, the doses in this field must not have been "field relevant".
