> Also from the EPA website: We are working closely with European countries that already require tests that explore the toxic effects of pesticides on the unique conditions of the colony. We are requiring data that explore the potential exposure to pesticides through nectar and pollen. We have also broadened the opportunities for reporting bee kill incidents to EPA directly or through the use of a Web-based portal. Roger Simonds routinely looks for pesticides in bees and bee products so I would certainly contact him. It's a fee for service deal so the trick will be finding who might be willing to pay for it. http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/ams.fetchTemplateData.do?template=TemplateN&navID=FieldLaboratoryServicesContacts&rightNav1=FieldLaboratoryServicesContacts&topNav=ContactUs&leftNav=&page=FLSContacts&resultType=&acct=labtechsvc http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/ams.fetchTemplateData.do?template=TemplateL&navID=FLSChemicalTesting&leftNav=FLSChemicalTesting&page=FLSChemicalTesting *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
