Hello All
 
A correspondent wrote to suggest that studies be done to establish if inter alia that pesticides are responsible for CCD. On the face of it a good idea.
 
But suppose that such a study reveals a big YES do we then ban pesticides?
 
Can we ban pesticides? 
 
Can we legally ban pesticides since the results of such a study if not to the liking of the pesticide manufacturers will probably be before the courts for years if not decades.
 
It is Balance Sheets we are talking about here. And high powered legal teams waiting to protect them.
 
Remember the Tobacco and cancer link!
 
Sincerely
