Colonies suffering pesticide damage in Canada, 3855 total, 402 neonic. So, 89.55% of the colonies were NOT neonic. 10.45% were. In other words, 90% of the damage reports were from the pesticides that the 'ban' the neonic group want us to return to. Sorry, all corn in US (and I'd guess specific regions of Canada) is planted in about a 10 day to two week period in US - time of RISK of exposure from dust. I'll play that game any day to avoid being in the 10% group (stay away from corn during those 10 days). Our work in IL, IN, and NE - we had a couple of colonies severely damaged during our trials, not from neonic but from spray applied by boom system on tractor.
