Hi Kathy

It was a very limited study with bees in enclosures. My point was that it is quite easy to find studies where these things have been tested, despite a litany of claims that pesticides are routinely taken to market without being adequately tested. 

But don't misunderstand me, I am very concerned about the synergistic effects of combinations of chemicals, as is everyone I know. Furthermore, fungicides represent a new class which may make look neonics look like aspirin by the time this all plays out.

I and others are very concerned that facts and hyperbole, evidenced base science and fear based hysteria be scrupulously separated. And everyone who knows me knows that when I am wrong, I say I am wrong.

Pete
