with some safety for the good.

I can hardly list all the beneficial insects!  My point was that this only appeared to regard honey bees and bumble bees as being important - presumably because there are those who are fighting their corner - with no mention of all the other beneficials that often go largely unnoticed.

In my view they are even more vulnerable to these pesticides; honey and bumble bees are unusual in the insect world in that they are social and this may enable the colonies to survive even though some members are lost - non-social insects do not have that protection.
