Thanks for this Allen.  Yes, talk is cheap, actual data is of far more
value.

I checked with Dr. Roger Simonds of USDA, who does all the pesticide
testing for the US food supply.
He checked samples of five brands of HFCS and found no neonics.

So unless Bob or Dr. Taylor have actual data, perhaps we can lay this urban
legend to rest.

Unfortunately, it will soon be propagated, due to some ludicrous
extrapolation in a recent "study" by a researcher who obviously knows
little about bees or pesticides, but somehow managed to get a paper
accepted to the "journal" Bulletin of Insectology.
