>I wonder if and when insects "tolerate" the neonics, the best thing to do
would be to make them go "cold turkey" and take the neonics away!!

Are you speaking of the bees, or of those insects that we consider as
"pests"?  Honey bees will intentionally seek out a caffeine or nicotine
buzz, and may very well do the same with a low dose of neonics.  However,
due to their short lifespan, the concept of the consequences of addiction
would be different than that of humans.
