Bill T, < After Imid was banned in France, what happened?>
I don’t consider it banned. As you say, “Pressure from the French bee-keeping industry led to a ban on the use of imidacloprid on sunflowers and corn”, it is still in use on other crops.
Once all Neonics have been banned throughout Europe for at least 2 years it will be possible to reach a conclusion. It will of course be necessary for the French to set up some credible way of collecting statistics. At the moment the system is laughable.

Bil, France
