The issue in a nutshell.

In life there is risk. We know that but want to reduce the risk, but we know
we can never eliminate it.

So far Bayer seems to be fairly responsible in trying to help and
accommodate us.

If we really want zero chemical risk, stop treating your bees with anything
since whatever you use has risk.
