Uh, ummm... wait a sec here...

He said "synergistic", didn't he?

He said that a systemic neonicotinoid and a fungicide
combine to make something more toxic than would be
expected of either one alone.  How's that work?

Has anyone ever seen any sort of science 
to support this highly creative viewpoint?

...and his final word on the subject was:

"Yes - pesticide contamination certainly 
could be the cause of CCD"

Has anyone ever seen any sort of science 
to support this stance?

In both cases, I sure haven't.
