Hello there ,
Apparently the North - Western region of the State of Maine is home to
the production of potato . Industrial , commercial and family type
growers are involved in the production of this commodity and no
doubt the use of Imidacloprid and other similar Bayer products are
used as an in ground Insecticide .

The wild blueberry industry in that State use honey bees for pollinating
this horticulture crop . pollination provision is supplied by local and
out of State providers . Following pollination services ,
would some of the bees be taken to the potato growing areas to access
the pastures as provided by rotation practices . Do we have any input to
date from beekeepers involved in this instance as to poisoning and
loss of colonies due to Imidacloprid .

Thanking all for any conciderations , regards , David
