Mystery Malady Kills More Bees, Heightening Worry on Farms
Published: March 28, 2013

"The explosive growth of neonicotinoids since 2005 has roughly tracked rising bee deaths."

There you have it, proof. Never mind that you could track a variety of factors, and draw eroneous conclusions. For example, I think I could make a very strong case for CO2. It has been shown to cause all sorts of short and long term effects on bees. The rise in atmospheric CO2 is probably behind the rise in bee deaths. See:
