Hi everybody,

If the problem that the molecule Imidacloprid (Gaucho) is causing (if
we beekeepers and independent researchers are correct!) interests you ,
and it should, then visit www.apiservices.com

It has on its "new pages" an article printed in "LIBERATION", a french
national newspaper covering recent developments!

Also, just to keep you all informed, there is to be a National
demonstration by all french beekeepers in front of the Bayer's factory
on the 25th Oct. 2000.
The aim of the demonstration is:
1. Beekeepers in France demand the removal of all products based on
Imidacloprid are removed from the market immediately.

2. Beekeepers in France demand the suspension of all products containing
the molecule "fipronil" produced by Rhone-Poulenc.

3. Beekeepers in France demand that in relation to the protection of
useful organisms, especially honeybees, the procedures followed in the
testing and placing on to the market of such materials is completely
revised.

Beekeepers will be moving from all over France in their vehicles with
trailers carrying dead hives- killed by systemic insecticides. On the
way each convoy will be stopping in major towns to make representations
to local government officers, MP.s, press and T.V.etc., converging on
the pre mentioned factory.

If you support us send me a mail!

Thank you for reading this mail
