I'm all for review, and wish to comment that none of the points in Dr. Mussen's newsletter are new news. Bayer has bee up front on them for a long time. In the interest of balance, I would also like to add that some of the most successful migratory beekeepers in the U.S., who are massively exposed to imidacloprid, feel that the pesticide is the best thing that has happened for beekeepers in years, as it replaced more harmful pesticides--their stated opinions.
