>And, if you get the neonics banned, what replaces them?

I sure hope it's not the organophosphates. We will really see serious bee deaths then. I remember aerial spraying and piles of dead bees with the drift when I was a kid and my dad had fields sprayed. I remember one instance where we were raising alfalfa seed and had hives on them for pollination. Neighbor sprayed his field - the crop duster missed the field and sprayed the wrong field. Every hive died, even thought the spray never directly hit them. Don't remember which specific insecticide it was.
